The collection consists largely of administrative records of the club, dating mostly from
the 1950s to 1970s. The records document the club's efforts to remain financially solvent,
develop membership, and arrange social activities. The collection contains assorted
financial records; records concerning the club's anniversaries (1947-1987), including a few
photographs taken at the events, and a videotape of the 13 September 1987 celebration;
membership lists (1937-1987); records of the annual meetings (1951-1952, 1967-1985); and the
meetings of the board of directors (1963-1985). The correspondence files of the club's
presidents (1950-1987) usually deal with financial and membership matters.
The collection also includes flyers advertising the club's activities (1949-1987); a 1946
history of the group; newsclippings (1952-1979); a small amount of correspondence regarding
Seder Night (1953-1979); and a file concerning the group's dissolution (1985-1987). The only
record from the World War II era is a membership list; nothing exists documenting the
efforts to assist Jewish refugees from Nazi Germany. Only passing mention can be found
concerning the relief fund for Jews in Austria and Germany after the war.
