Ce fonds comprend des documents créés par Noël-Joseph Ritchot ou dans le cadre de sa succession. On y retrouve de la documentation de l'abbé Ritchot sur le gouvernement provisoire formé par les Métis de la colonie de la Rivière-Rouge en 1869 et un journal portant sur les événements qui se sont déroulés à La Barrière à Saint-Norbert. Il y a aussi un journal de Ritchot commencé en avril 1870 pendant les négociations à Ottawa pour l'entrée du Manitoba dans la Confédération canadienne. Ce fonds contient en outre de la correspondance de Ritchot avec plusieurs individus comme Louis Riel, le père Albert Lacombe o.m.i. ou avec sa famille par exemple. On y retrouve un registre des terres de Ritchot, des copies de ses sermons, des ententes et de la correspondance relative aux Trappistes de Saint-Norbert et plusieurs contrats avec des paroissiens de Saint-Norbert. Ce fonds contient en outre de nombreux documents portant sur la succession de Mgr Ritchot administrée par Mgr Alphonse A. Cherrier. Ce fonds est donc essentiel à l'étude de la création de la Province du Manitoba, l'étude de la communauté métisse et à l'histoire de la Paroisse de Saint-Norbert.

In addition to the numerous sources of the material, the format, subject matter and function of the records varies. Records creators include individuals, organizations as well as the JHC itself and its predecessors.

Corporate records creators represented in the collection consist of numerous secular and religious Jewish organizations. These are mostly Winnipeg based but also include some from other communities in western Canada. These organization include: Hadassah, Histradut, the Young Men’s Hebrew Association (YMHA), Zionist organizations, synagogues, I.L. Peretz school, B’nai Brith lodges, the Winnipeg Jewish Community Council, and Mt. Carmel Clinic.

Individual records creators are equally diverse, including politicians, rabbis, business owners, labour activists and others involved in the Jewish communities of Western Canada. These include Max Steinkopf, Saul Cherniack, Leible Hersfield and others.

Records formats include: correspondence, newsletters, programs, annual reports, handwritten books, minutes and financial statements. Many of the records are photocopies of originals. There are also a small number of artefacts such as pins and buttons.

The fonds consists of farm records, legal documents, geneaological information, diaries, photographs, and memorabilia pertaining to the Jellis family farm.

Six letters between an American and Canadian Jellis cousin during World War I are of particular interest.
