 Abstract:  Myron S. Stanford was a lawyer active in Cleveland, Ohio, Jewish organizations and in the Cuyahoga County Democratic Party. When he immigrated in 1920 from Poland to the United States, his name was Meier Spokojny. By 1921 his name was Meyer Spocony, and by 1929 his name had been changed to Myron Spocony Stanford. From 1941 to 1945, he served as an assistant police prosecutor for the City of Cleveland. He ran unsuccessfully for several political positions. At various times he served as president of the United Jewish Religious Schools, Fairmount Temple Men's Club, B'nai B'rith Mid-Day Lodge, B'nai B'rith Hillel Foundation, and Masada Chapter, Zionist Organization of America. He chaired the performing arts committee of the Jewish Community Center and was active in Yiddish theater productions there. The collection consists of programs and correspondence relating to Jewish organizations with which Stanford was involved; briefs, book reviews, and scripts written by Stanford; newspaper clippings, diaries, diplomas, awards; and a scrapbook. The collection is particularly strong in materials relating to the Men's Club of Fairmount Temple and the travel diaries detailing Israeli life in the 1950s and Jewish life in Russia, especially Moscow and Leningrad, in the late 1950s and early 1970s.
