| | Abstract: | In 1957 the Committee on Jewish Cemetery Problems was established as part of the Jewish Community Federation in Cleveland, Ohio. The Committee was charged with rehabilitating Baxter Street Cemetery, an old Jewish cemetery in the Slavic Village neighborhood. In 1959, the Jewish Cemeteries Association formed and cooperated with the Federation to renovate cemeteries throughout northeastern Ohio. Other cemetery associations were established throughout the years to protect the interests of individual Jewish cemeteries. The collection consists of agendas, agreements, articles of incorporation, constitutions and by-laws, correspondence, minutes, newspaper clippings, notes, reports, rosters, and statements of policy. | |
