ORT Archive documents relating to Moldova.
ORT’s early work in what is today's Moldova spanned 1880s-c.1940. It returned to Moldova in 2001. The ORT online archive currently holds correspondence and reports from the 1920s to 1939 from areas that are now part of Moldova. More information on activities in Moldova can be found in the 1935-1937 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 Moldova and a brief history of ORT's activities in the country is available here.
