The records, which consisted mainly of volumes, were arranged in three groups prior to microfilming; the records (1913-1955) of the MOSES MONTEFIORE CONGREGATION itself; records (1893-1948, 1974) of the FOX RIVER LODGE No. 209, I.O.B.B.; and the records (1936-1962) of the APPLETON CHAPTER OF HADASSAH.
The titles of the microfilmed volumes are self explanatory. The minute book of the HADASSAH Study Group documents the activities of women who met to discuss books and hear talks about religious life, literature, and politics. The Hadassah scrapbooks consist of photographs, clippings, and yearbooks and are a relatively complete record of the Chapter's religious, social, and cultural activities.
The MOSES MONTEFIORE SYNAGOGUE BULLETINS are monthly newsletters about the congregation's membership and activities. They include messages from the Rabbi on a wide range of topics of concern to the community, reports of the synagogue board and Sisterhood, and news from the Appleton Chapter of Hadassah. Clippings concerning international Jewry and news and announcements from national Jewish organizations are also reprinted in the Bulletin.
