Book Collection
Gerald K. Stone has collected books by and about Canadian Jewry since the 1980s. In 2009, he donated more than 2,000 volumes in English, French, Yiddish and Hebrew to the University of Ottawa Library to enhance the research value of its holdings in Judaica and strengthen the foundation for the university's Jewish Canadian studies program. Parts of his collection enhance other research libraries.
