Description: The Board of Deputies of British Jews, founded in 1760 as the London Committee of Deputies of British Jews, is the representative body of British Jewry.

[0334] Records of the Board of Deputies of British Jews, 1760-2002, ACC/3121

Location: London Metropolitan Archives, 40 Northampton Road, London, EC1R OHB, England

Description: The London Committee of Deputies of British Jews, which is now known as the Board of Deputies of British Jews, was established in 1760 when seven Deputies were appointed by the elders of the Spanish and Portuguese Congregation to form a standing committee to pay homage to George III on his accession to the throne, but soon decided to continue joint meetings. In 1936 the Jewish Defence Committee was created and launched an Outdoor Campaign to challenge the open air meetings conducted by the British Union of Fascists. Anti-Fascist leaflets and literature were circulated and protest meetings, supported by Christian Churches and other non-Jews, were organised. The records cover virtually every facet of Jewish life in Britain in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, including immigration, anti-Semitism, and the Holocaust, as well as the rise of fascism in mainland Europe in the 1930s.
