Book Collection
The Gerald Stone Collection at the University of Ottawa Library in Ottawa, Canada is a Judaica collection of books, pamphlets, periodicals, and other materials pertaining to Jewish history, literature and culture with a primary emphasis on Jewish Canadiana. The collection, donated in 2009, consists of more than 2,000 volumes in English, French, Yiddish and Hebrew. This collection has enhanced the research value of the library's holdings in Judaica and strengthened the foundation for the university's Vered Jewish Canadian Studies Program.
Pictured above is a portion of a display of Jewish Canadiana prepared by Gerald Stone in conjunction with the annual conference of the Association of Canadian Jewish Studies held May 24, 2009 at the Jewish Community Center in Ottawa. Among the works pictured are two early printed sermons, one of the earliest specimens of Hebrew printing in Canada, and the first Yiddish book printed in Canada.
