- Archival history:
- Formerly held with other Jewish collections in the Mocatta Library of University College London.
- Administrative/biographical history:
- The Institute of Jewish Affairs was founded in New York under the auspices of the American Jewish Congress and the World Jewish Congress in 1941, aiming to conduct an investigation of Jewish life over the preceding 25 years, to establish the facts of the position of the Jews during World War Two and determine their causes, and to suggest how Jewish rights might be claimed in a post-war settlement. It conducted research and collected documentation and information on various issues including antisemitism. The Institute moved to London in 1965, maintaining its programme of research and publications into contemporary issues affecting Jewish communities, its regular publications including its report on antisemitism. The Institute was renamed the Institute for Jewish Policy Research in 1997.
