Reserve University. “The rich his
tory of our community exists in the
papers and records of its organiza
tions and its families. By carefully
preserving these, as well as photo
graphs and memorabilia, we will
be preserving our heritage,” said
Mrs. Berman.
To date, the earliest documents
included in the archives are minute
books from the Montifiore Relief
Fund, and other early social ser
vice organizations dating back to
the turn of the century.
“With the establishment of the
archives, two out of three pieces
are in place for the creation of a
Jewish Heritage Center,” said Lev
ison. “The first component was
completed with the dedication of
the Zachor Holocaust Center in
May.” Plans are underway to create
the third piece, a Jewish Historical
Society.
Diaries, correspondence, photo
graphs, minute books, scrapbooks
and artifacts are needed for the
archives. To donate any materials
of interest, or for more informa
tion about the archives, contact
