Acquisition Policy

Sam Shtabsky with Passenger, c1940; Shtabsky family fonds, JAHSENA.
An acquisition policy is a set of guidelines that outlines what types of records and materials an archive will accept into its collection. This helps to maintain a collection that aligns with our mission and goals. JAHSENA establishes the following criteria for the acceptance of archival donations:
Archival material collected shall include photographs, negatives, textual records such as oral and written histories, documents, newspapers, newsletters, books, audiovisual materials, artifacts, textiles, etc. relating to the history of the Jewish communities of Edmonton and Northern Alberta, its individuals and organizations.
The collection of miscellaneous, non-archival materials relating to the history of the Jewish communities of Edmonton and Northern Alberta, eg. plaques, memorabilia, awards, statues, with the intention of perhaps leading to the creation of a museum branch of the society.
