Archival history
-
Founded in Paris in 1860 to promote human rights and defend the Jewish people, the Alliance Israélite Universelle has evolved over the years into an important educational institution.
Many other institutions and private individuals have entrusted the Alliance with their archives, thus making them available for consultation by students and researchers. Similarly, various personalities and their families have donated their personal archives, including Paul Bauer, Jean Ellissen, Elian Finbert, Henri Hertz, Kruger, Bernard Lazare, Jacques Lazarus, Sarah Leibovici, Edmond Maurice Lévy, Bernard Mélamède, Pierre Mendès France, Salomon Grumbach, Rachel Minc, Louis Oungre and Isidore Simon.
