Item is a photograph of the Eastern Hay & Feed Co. building, located in Moncton, NB, beside a railway crossing.

Item is a postcard sent to Mabel (Wry) Alward from her sister J. Pearl C. Wry. The message reads, “Have all my work finished. Have had a wonderful time. Mrs. Read is a pet. Will see you Sunday if all goes well. In haste for 4:30. P.W.”

Much of the material relating to the history of the history of the congregations before 1933 was destroyed in a fire. Most of the surviving records date from 1949 and were found in 1990 in the balcony of the synagogue. Extensive records of correspondence, annual reports, minutes, financial records, and membership lists were among what was found. There is also a large section of information available on bat/bat mitzvah, marriage and burial records for the genealogist. The cemetery records are the most complete as a database of all burials in the Shaarei Zedek Cemetery was compiled between 1997 and 2011. Material on these lifecycle events generally comes from personal memorabilia and newspaper records. A section on Jewish traditions and holidays is appended to show how these have been observed in this community and elsewhere.

Records for the communities in Moncton and Fredericton are very limited and include information found in public records including newspapers.
