ORT Archive documents relating to England
British ORT (today ORT UK) was established in 1921 as a fundraising organisation. During and post-WWII it provided vocational education for Jewish refugees in Britain. The ORT online archive holds minutes, reports , correspondence and publicity material spanning 1921-1969. More information on activities in the UK can be found in the 1947-1998 reports submitted to World ORT's governing bodies and in the World ORT Report (formerly the ORT Yearbook). These can be found under World ORT. Our photo galleries include more from ORT UK and a brief history of ORT's activities in the country is available here.
