ORT America Archives
Between 1922 when it began to now, ORT America has amassed an impressive collection of materials documenting and illustrating ORT programs around the world - how
they started, how they grew and the impact they've had on the communities around them.
|
We've also got quite an enormous "family photo album" with pictures of our membership
in action. They are making speeches, holding fundraisers, going on missions, visiting schools and talking with the students they support. There are portraits, groups shots and, of course, an entertaining candid or two.
Every month or two, we will highlight "feature exhibitions" made up of items from the archives, as well as and we hope that you will enjoy them, find out a bit more about our impressive history
and join us to forge an even brighter future.
The archives are a work in progress -- there is a tremendous amount of material to review, but we hope you'll come back often to browse, see how it's going and see what's been added lately. |

New York, New York!
ORT has a long relationship with and takes many forms in New York City. Bramson ORT is part of that multi-generational, multi-layered story.
ORT Iran: For over 25 years, ORT operated across Iran, running vocational, educational and medical programs for an impressive cross-section of Iranian society - adults and children
alike. Those programs changed not only the lives of the students as individuals but their local communities and larger society as well.
