  JewishEncyclopedia.com - ALLIANCE ISRAÉLITE UNIVERSELLE:
The Alliance Israélite, on the other hand, because of its universal character, is active everywhere and in all directions; appeals to sovereigns and governments indiscriminately; and founds schools where the teaching is carried on in German, English, French, Turkish, Arabic, or Russian.
The "Bulletins" of the Alliance are filled with narratives of murder committed upon Moroccan Israelites, of cruel exactions imposed by irresponsible officials, and of acts of violence perpetrated by an ignorant and fanatical populace.
But the Alliance soon observed that such prize-competitions were powerless to draw the attention of scholars away from their favorite studies, and that an important work could not be undertaken at the word of command, so that it would be preferable to leave to authors free scope and full liberty.

 JewishEncyclopedia.com - ANGLO-JEWISH ASSOCIATION:
Löwy (late secretary of the association), had many years before its establishment conceived the idea of forming a society on lines similar to those of the Alliance Israélite Universelle in Paris; but it was not until after the Franco-German war of 1870-71 that an opportunity presented itself for the realization of their idea.
A large number of prominent members of the Jewish community in London gave their adhesion to the movement, and the Anglo-Jewish Association was formally constituted at a public meeting held on July 2, 1871.
Striking testimony to the efficiency of several of these schools is to be found in the fact that Moslem and Christian parents of high standing have sent their children as paying pupils.

The Renaissance of the Turkish Jewish community was initiated thanks to the foundation of the French-Jewish philanthropic organization "Alliance Israélite Universelle" in 1860, and the establishment of a school network in Morocco, Tunisia and the Ottoman Empire by it.
The "Alliance" selected meticulously its corps of educators from within the communities of the geography in question and formed them in a teacher's seminary, "École Normale Israélite Orientale" established in 1865 for that purpose.
The "Alliance" which established a school of agriculture in 1870 near Jaffa in Palestine, needed a professional agronomist to direct its school-farm, "Mikveh Israel" (The Hope of Israel).

 Rodrigue. French Jews, Turkish Jews
The Alliance, the 1848 republicanism of its founders notwithstanding, had become deeply conservative by the twentieth century and was steeped in the politics of notables, used to working behind the scenes with a few influential individuals.
The ideology of the Alliance diverged considerably from that of the Zionists.
Part of the Alliance's opposition to Zionism should be seen in the context of its trying to defend the status quo in the Jewish world where it had become used to primacy in the international scene.

 Jewish Historical & Genealogical Research
Of all the Jewish archives affected by the Holocaust, the AIU archives' fate was most unusual and consequently one finds today, apart from the main part of the archives in Paris, much important material not only in Moscow but in New York as well.
Like many French governmental records, the AIU archives were dispatched to Bordeaux prior to the German occupation of Paris and disappeared.
This is the only local French Jewish institution whose archives were looted, possibly because the material became intermingled with the AIU archives sent to Bordeaux which was of interest to the Nazis.
