This series includes Annette's letters to family members from 1919 to 1991 as well as correspondence from friends worldwide. Diary and travel calendars span the years 1929 to 2005, and there is also extensive travel memorabilia, among them luggage tags and ships' stationery and newsletters. Mostly undated farewell cards, greeting cards and birthday cards to her are among the series, which includes a 75th birthday certificate signed by Brian Mulroney, then Canada's Prime Minister. The series also includes items from Annette's early years, such as Westmount elementary and high school report cards, her vaccination certificate, school notebooks and drawings, as well as letters from the Joseph and Wolff summer vacation home in St. Patrick, Quebec. One finds correspondence concerning her work as a counsellor at the Imperial Order Daughters of the Empire (IODE) fresh air camp in 1932. Included in this file are a camper's licence test and a 1926 Canadian National Railway camp craft booklet. Annette's leadership of the Shaar Hashomayim girl guide troop is also recorded here. The series contains a 1938 Girl Guides rally brochure, a sea ranger test card, and a Scout and Guide memorial service brochure for Baden-Powell. Annette Wolff's employment correspondence is collected here, as are numerous press clips on her life and accomplishments. For example, an article appeared on Annette Wolff in the 1992 "Dental Practice" entitled "Was she the first [dental] hygienist in U.K.?"During World War II, Annette maintained correspondence with soldiers overseas. Their letters are here included along with several POW envelopes. Of further interest are Annette Wolff's World War II ration book, an army mailing label, and materials pertaining to the Jewish branch of the Canadian Red Cross. One also finds war-time correspondence from Mina Kocherthaler, a young German-Jewish refugee who was brought to England under the sponsorship of Annette and Sarah Wolff, who were living in England during the war.An original 1930 edition of the Joseph family's annual Purim newsletter The Moon is included, as are Annette's yearly contributions to the newsletter which are often humorous and always informative as to the Joseph family history.

Various papers on Canadiana and the Commonwealth's royal family - both of keen interest to Annette - can be found in this series. Correspondence, press and window display information for the Bicentenary of Canadian Jewry are here found, as Annette was involved in the preparations and planning for the 1959 event.

History / Biographical
Annette Wolff (born 1911) graduated as a dental hygienist from the Forsyth Dental Infirmary in Boston in 1931. She was employed in a variety of capacities in her adult life, including work for the telephone exchange in London, England; the Inspection Board of the U.K. and Canada; and the Canadian National Research Council Atomic Energy Research Lab. Annette was deeply interested in documenting the history of her family and synagogue, the Spanish & Portuguese Synagogue (Shearith Israel) of Montreal. Notably, she devoted considerable attention to transcribing and researching the Abraham Joseph diary. She also wrote extensively on other historical topics and was often called upon to speak to various organizations about her research. She was a prolific writer of letters, essays, poems and plays. Annette Wolff was a lover of all things naval, travelling extensively by ship to Europe and Bermuda, and was the founding member of the Montreal branch of the World Ship Society. Annette was the quintessential chronicler and keeper of all things large and small, which has resulted in a broad array of collected papers. She died in November 2012.
Notes
General note: This series is of great value to historians in numerous fields, journalists, authors, philatelists, and ship travel aficionados.

History / Biographical
Born in Montreal in 1929, Gertrude Katz had a varied career path, much of which is reflected in her donated papers. In addition to her long-time association with Dr. Henry Morgentaler both as a friend and as a co-worker in the administration of his clinics, she studied interpretive dance with Françoise Sullivan in the 1940s, followed by a period after the birth of her two daughters when she taught post-natal calisthenics all the while assisting her husband Carl in his insurance brokerage. In the 1960s she joined the Committee for Neutral Schools where she took an active role. She was also involved in the formative years of the Golden Age Association (now the Cummings Centre for Seniors). Her literary career includes the writing of books of poetry and the teaching of creative writing to prison inmates. These teaching efforts led to the creation of the renowned book The Time Gatherers (1970), a collection of writings by and about the prisoners at St. Vincent de Paul penitentiary. Gertrude Katz was one of the directors of the 'Women's Information and Referral Centre', the first women's centre in Montreal. She served as Chief Financial Administrator for the Morgentaler clinics from 1978 until her retirement in 2005. Her feminist perspective and charitable focus with respect for others' views has been passed on and is carried through by her two daughters and three grandchildren. This portion of the collection also includes information about the WWII service of her husband Carl Katz, one of only two Jewish Canadians (along with Harry Gulkin) who served in the Merchant Marine. Gertrude and Carl Katz both passed away in Montreal; Gertrude in August 2022 and Carl in December 2023.

History / Biographical
The Palomino Lodge was owned by Henry and Berenice Kaufman. The first lodge was built by the hands of Mr. Kaufman and was rented to the Rabiner family, who later opened their own resort (see Rabiner's Hotel I0094, S08). When the Rabiners left, Mr. Kaufman built a bigger lodge with a huge stable. The lodge got its name from Mr. Kaufman's love of palomino horses. The lodge had many famous personalities as guests, among them Lorne Greene and Princess Elizabeth. In 1956, the Kaufmans sold the lodge to Sam Steinberg, who used it as a country retreat for Steinberg's grocery store employees until the 1980s.

History / Biographical
Born in Montreal in 1929, Gertrude Katz has had a varied career path, much of which is reflected in her donated papers. In addition to her long-time association with Dr. Henry Morgentaler both as a friend and as a co-worker in the administration of his clinics, she studied interpretive dance with Françoise Sullivan in the 1940s, followed by a period after the birth of her two daughters when she taught post-natal calisthenics all the while assisting her husband Carl in his insurance brokerage. In the 1960s she joined the Committee for Neutral Schools where she took an active role. She was also involved in the formative years of the Golden Age Association (now the Cummings Centre for Seniors). Her literary career includes the writing of books of poetry and the teaching of creative writing to prison inmates. These teaching efforts led to the creation of the renowned book The Time Gatherers (1970), a collection of writings by and about the prisoners at St. Vincent de Paul penitentiary. Gertrude Katz was one of the directors of the 'Women's Information and Referral Centre', the first women's centre in Montreal. She served as Chief Financial Administrator for the Morgentaler clinics from 1978 until her retirement in 2005.
