Synagogue files

  • SJJHM 1
  • Collection
  • 188- - present

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.

Voluntary enlistment register, Charlotte County

  • PANB MC3148
  • Item
  • 27 September 1915-30 August 1917

This register records the voluntary recruitment of 553 men in Charlotte County, New Brunswick, for service overseas during the First World War, dating from 27 September 1915, when a major recruiting drive was underway in the province, until 30 August 1917, the day after Prime Minister Robert Borden's Military Service Act became law. It may be a manuscript copy of the enlistment register in which names of volunteers were recorded initially during or immediately after recruitment rallies.

Each entry provides the recruit's name, place of residence, age at recruitment, marital status, date of enlistment, nationality, and the unit to which he was assigned. Most of the men were Canadians, natives of Charlotte County, N.B. Other places of residence include Albert, Charlotte, St. John, York, Carleton, and Kings counties in N.B.; Nova Scotia; Prince Edward Island; Ontario; United States of America (Maine); England; Ireland; Scotland; Newfoundland; Denmark; and Romania. A very few gave their nationality as Italian, Danish, Norwegian, Russian, or Syrian.

A few notations, such as "stopped by mother," "discharged," "wife objected" or "rejected," are recorded in the margins. Occasionally, the name of the recruiter -- H. V. Dewar, Herman G. Smith, or ? McDowell -- and the place of recuitment -- St. George, St. Andrews, Castalia -- are given. The entries are in several different hands.

On the record book's cover is printed "Hospital Admission & Discharge Book". The recruitment entries begin at the back of the book.

Fonds Jean-Charles Charuest

  • CA QUEBEC P554
  • Fonds
  • 1945-1985

L'oeuvre de Jean-Charles Charuest révèle l'évolution des arts sacrés depuis une interprétation de l'Art Déco, en vogue au cours des années 1940 et 1950, vers le modernisme du renouveau liturgique, en vogue durant les années 1960 et 1970, jusqu'au retour vers des valeurs plus traditionnelles au cours des années 1980 et 1990. Le style Art Déco a été, soulignons-le, la principale source d'inspiration de Jean-Charles Charuest. Il a été sensibilisé à ce style en 1939 dans le cadre de l'exposition universelle de New York. Il serait très long de faire la liste des églises sur lesquelles il a travaillé. Notons seulement qu'il a laissé sa marque sur plusieurs centaines d'églises du Québec, de l'Ontario, du Nouveau-Brunswisk, de l'Île-du-Prince-Édouard, du Maine, du Vermont et du New Hampshire. Il a, de plus, travaillé sur plusieurs projets profanes : le réaménagement du Club Canadien, la maison de Gerry Snyder et la station de métro De Castelneau à Montréal. Il a collaboré avec des artistes et des architectes qui ont laissé leur marque dans l'histoire de l'art et de l'architecture. Soulignons les noms de Jordi Bonet, Guy Desbarats, Paul-G. Goyer, Lucien Robillard, Ernest Cormier et Joseph Marchand. Sa carrière lui a permis d'être actif au sein d'entreprises renommées parmi lesquelles "Desmarais et Robitaille", "Ardec", "Michel Roger Arts Sacrés" et "Esthétique et Arts Sacrés". L'organisation du fonds est basée sur les grandes étapes de la carrière de Jean-Charles Charuest. Ce fonds est composé de documents d'archives de plusieurs natures et supports, parmi lesquels nous retrouvons des plans d'architecture, des esquisses d'orfèvrerie, de bronzes, de ferronerie, de marbres de moulages, des épreuves noir et blanc et des documents textuels
