Scope and Content
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.

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.
