- 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.

- 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.

- The bulk of this series includes correspondence between Martin Wolff and Irene Joseph Wolff, before and after their marriage, and letters to their daughters. Many of the early letters from Martin to Irene were written when he was working as an engineer in remote areas of the Quebec bush. Of interest is a 1939 letter from Irene to her daughters written on the reverse of an oversized war campaign poster. Also included are papers pertaining to Irene Wolff's involvement with the Canadian Authors Association, the Canadian Jewish Review, the Canadian Women's Press Club, the Imperial Order Daughters of the Empire, the Jewish Chronicle, the National Council of Jewish Women, the Sinai League Reading Circle, and the Spanish & Portuguese Sisterhood. In addition are poems, essays and articles by Irene Wolff as well as two bound copies of A Quebecker Looks at Life: The Diary of Irene Joseph Wolff, a self-published volume by her daughter Rosetta Elkin. Also of interest is a Montreal General Hospital dinner menu from the last days of Irene Wolff's life. Among her personal papers are found correspondence with Dr. Cecil Roth, the noted British historian and author of the popular history book, A History of the Jews. Cecil Roth, when in Montreal, had been a visitor to the Wolff home, a fact noted among Irene Wolff's papers. Correspondence from Irene Joseph Wolff's father, Montefiore Joseph, and her mother, Annette Pinto Joseph, is also included. Of interest are a 1903 letter on Quebec Hockey Club stationery notifying Montefiore Joseph of his election as the Club's honorary president and a 1923 Quebec Board of Trade banquet invitation to the board's past presidents, including Montefiore Joseph.Martin Wolff's British nationality papers, including letters of attestation, are found here, as are correspondence with and submissions to the American Jewish Committee, the Jewish Publication Society, the American Jewish Yearbook, The Jewish Tribune, and the Jewish Chronicle of London, England. Many of his essays, speeches, poems and translations are included, as are family trees and correspondence with his mother, Sarah Andrade Wolff. Of particular note is a 1937 letter to Martin Wolff from one C.Q. Henriques of London, England, written on the Jewish Representative Council for the Boycott of German Goods and Services stationery.Also of special interest are the letters between Martin Wolff and Alfred Bader, an Austrian Jewish war refugee who had been interned at a DP camp in southern Quebec and who was sponsored by Martin Wolff and welcomed into the Wolff home as one of the family. It is without doubt due to Martin Wolff's love for and encouragement of the young Bader that the latter prospered academically and professionally. He excelled at Queen's University (having been denied admission to McGill University, presumably because their Jewish quota was full), became a highly successful chemist, and founded the Aldrich Chemical Company, later named the Sigma-Aldrich Corporation, one of the largest chemical companies in the United States. He is as well a renowned art collector and generous donor to his alma maters, especially to Queen's University.

- History / Biographical
- Martin Wolff, born in Germany in 1881, was raised and educated in England. He immigrated to Canada in 1906 and as a qualified engineer was employed in railway surveys and construction. He worked for various railways, including the Canadian Northern, the National Transcontinental and the Canadian National. In 1915, he was attached to the Department of Militia and Defence in Quebec and in 1916 was employed by the Imperial Munitions Board. Martin Wolff was also a journalist, historian of Montreal Jewry; chairman of the Canadian Jewish Congress Archives Committee, a board member of the Spanish and Portuguese Synagogue (Shearith Israel), and author of History of the Canadian National Railways and History of the Jews in Canada. He married Irene Joseph in 1909, with whom he had six daughters. The marriage was one of sustained respect, love, and devotion. Martin Wolff died in 1948.Irene Wolff, born in 1885 in Quebec City, was a journalist, poet and community worker. She and her husband reared their six daughters in an observant Jewish home. Along with running her household in Westmount and tending to the welfare of her family with wisdom, warmth and often humour, she was the Canadian correspondent for the London, England, newspaper The Jewish Chronicle and, along with her husband, contributed to A.D. Hart's The Jew in Canada, published by the Jewish Publication Limited, 1926. She was a member of the Canadian Authors Association and of the Women's Press Club of Canada. During World War II, she was joint committee chair, with Mrs. Wilder Penfield, of the Montreal branch of the Red Cross and contributed in other significant ways to the war effort. She was also a long-serving member of the Boadicea and Baden-Powell Chapters of the Imperial Order Daughters of the Empire. Irene Wolff died in 1940.
- Notes
- General note: This series depicts the life of a fascinating Jewish family in Montreal from the early 20th century until the late 1940s. Aside from the tenderness, wisdom and humour one finds in the correspondence between the spouses and in the letters to their children, one learns of the religious and social customs practiced by Martin and Irene Wolff and of the quotidian life in this middle-class household. Though observant Jews, Wolff family members mixed with and were accepted by the larger community. Historians, students of Jewish life in Canada during this time period, social scientists, psychologists, women's study professionals, journalists - perhaps all those interested in the dynamics of family life - would find this series of keen interest.

- History / Biographical
- Henekh /Henry Morgentaler was born in Poland in March 1923. As a youth during World War II he was imprisoned at the Lodz Ghetto and later at the Dachau concentration camp. After the war Morgentaler emigrated to Canada and entered medical practice, becoming one of the first Canadian doctors to perform vasectomies, to insert intrauterine devices, and to provide birth control pills to unmarried women. He opened his first abortion clinic in 1969 in Montreal, eventually opening eight clinics in cities across Canada, and training more than one hundred doctors. As a pro-choice advocate he fought numerous legal battles challenging the constitutionality of the federal abortion law; losing in 1975, but winning the second time, in 1988.In 2008, Morgentaler was awarded the Order of Canada 'for his commitment to increased health care options for women, his determined efforts to influence Canadian public policy and his leadership in humanist and civil liberties organizations.' Morgentaler died at the age of 90 in May 2013. (The Morgentaler details are abridged from the Wikipedia entry under his name.)
