Abstract:

Records of a Milwaukee social welfare organization which originally collected money and distributed it to the city's needy Jews, but expanded to include social work, job training, medical and dental services, immigrant resettlement, counseling, and care for emotionally disturbed children. Included are minutes, clippings, financial reports, case records, and organization histories; plus minutes (1893-1914) of the United Hebrew Charities; and annual reports, articles of organization, bylaws, and rules of order (1902-1925) of the Federated Jewish Charities of Milwaukee.
