Glasgow Jewish Resource Centre was a Jewish communal body in Glasgow. The Jewish Year Book for 1993 lists it with the telephone number 041 620 2194, with Stephen Cowan as chairman and Mrs D Zolkwer as honorary secretary.[1] In January 1991 the Jewish Chronicle listed a Glasgow FUJS meeting "at the Resource Centre, Giffnock Synagogue".[2] In 1994 the centre was one of five bodies that joined the Glasgow Jewish Representative Council in an appeal for Belgrade.[3]

In May 1997 the Jewish Chronicle reported that Glasgow Jewish Continuity had awarded almost £12,000 to 14 organisations, and named the Glasgow Jewish Resource Centre among the recipients.[4] In September 1997 the paper described it as holding "archives dealing with Jewish immigrants to Scotland and community history", and reported that it had arranged a "Discovery day" to mark the 100th anniversary of Zionism.[5] Over 100 people attended the day, on the theme "One hundred years of Zionism".[6]
