The San
Antonio Section of the National Council of Jewish Women is dedicated in the
spirit of Judaism to furthering human welfare in the Jewish and general
communities on a local, national and international level.
The collection
spans the years 1907 through 2006 and consists of administrative records,
clippings, scrapbooks and printed materials.
Historical Note
The San Antonio Section of the National Council of Jewish Women is
dedicated in the spirit of Judaism to furthering human welfare in the Jewish
and general communities on a local, national and international level. The San
Antonio Section was established in May 1907 in the parlor of the Menger Hotel
by a small group of women. Over the years, the organization has made many
groundbreaking strides in assisting handicapped and disadvantaged citizens and
in promoting education for adolescents and adults. In 1909 the San Antonio
Section of the NCJW founded a night school to teach English to foreign born
citizens of San Antonio, which inspired the establishment of such courses by
San Antonio's Board of Education. Contributions from the city toward the
development of prenatal care and aid for the blind were also inspired by early
efforts of the San Antonio Section of the NCJW. In later years, the
organization sponsored the annual Decorators' Showcase, a fundraising event
which financed many ongoing charity programs.
Scope and Content Note
The San Antonio Section of the National Council of Jewish Women
consists of administrative records, clippings, scrapbooks and printed
materials. The bulk of the materials in the collection are scrapbooks, which
represent the history of the organization from 1939 to 1995 through
photographs, clippings and printed materials. These materials are a record of
the organization's news and events from around the San Antonio and the Bexar
County area. Administrative records include a small number of reports and
correspondence, as well as minutes from the periods of 1907-1911 and 1959-1964.
Dues records from 1955-1963 and staff directories can also be found. Staff
directories date from the 1930s, but are only complete from 1974-1997. There
are a few newsletters dating from 1954 to 1994. Also included are guidebooks
for the Decorator's Showcase charity event from 1967-1977.
The additions expand the years to 2006 and includes much of the same materials, administrative records, clippings, scrapbooks, and printed material.
