From the Collection:

This collection documents the activities of the Niagara Falls chapter of Hadassah, an American-Jewish women’s volunteer organization. The records consist mainly of correspondence, event and program materials, membership records, minutes, their collected publications, and memorabilia.

Significant membership information is stored in Subseries F: Membership of Series I.
