   The storylines presented
in this exhibit are neither
comprehensive nor conclusive;
they simply offer a glimpse
of what life was like in
Lowertown in the first half
of the 20th century. Most of

the material used in the
exhibit is held in the Ottawa
Jewish Archives but a
significant number of
photographs were obtained
from family members. The
Ottawa Jewish Archives is
extremely grateful for their
participation and support.
The exhibit can be viewed as

a gallery of images or
explored through the
"Stories" section of the
site, which presents the
material in a narrative form.
Nine storylines document
Jewish businesses along
various streets of Lowertown
including Rideau, William and
Mosgrove. Please view the

IMMIGRATION, PEDDLING, HIDES,
FUR & FURRIERS and CHANGES IN
LOWERTOWN storylines to learn
about a few of the Jewish
families who arrived in
Ottawa, worked extremely hard
and built a new life for
themselves and their
children.
