Jewish Museum London / Jewish Military Museum Collections. Government Documents
Government bureaucracy in all industrialised countries functioned through document and register systems.
Official documents are therefore an important primary source for the study of First World War and its context. Its preservation and access is a must.
This collection contains more than one hundred documents, including certificates, soldiers books, permits, acts and minutes, kindly provided by the Jewish Museum London.
The Jewish Museum London holds an important archive which documents Jewish life in London in detail. The Jewish Military Museum/AJEX Collection, now at the Jewish Museum London, focuses on the stories of individual Jewish men and women who have served in the British Armed Forces for over three centuries.
