Organizations and Zionist Associations in America.
In 1989,
CZA acquired the holdings of the Zionist Archives and Library
(ZAL) that was established in New York by the American Section
of the World Zionist Organization and the KH at the time of
the 1939 White Paper restricting Jewish immigration into Pal
estine. As Zionism, the
yishuv
and the Arab states became front
page news, ZAL sought to provide authentic and timely infor
mation and documented historical material to meet the de
mands o f writers, media personnel and others. Housed in the
New York JA building, it was an invaluable source of informa
tion in its specialized field. When the JA sold its building, the
archives o f ZAL were transferred to Jerusalem. Among the files
received were those of the following organizations: Zionist Or
ganization of America (1918-1976), Palestine Economic Corpo
ration [now PEC Israel Economic Corporation] (1922-1960),
American Palestine Christian Committee (1925-1961), Pro-
Palestine Committee (1930-1957), American Economic Commit
tee for Palestine/Israel (1932-1954), American Zionist Emergen
cy Council/Committee — American Zionist Council (1939-1970),
ESCO Foundation (1942-1943), Americans for Haganah

(1960-1971). In addition, there were considerable documentary
items from the files of prominent American Zionist leaders.
