1Title:  May Hope Francis Papers     
 Creator:  Francis, May Hope 
 Dates:  1922-1959 
 Abstract:  May Hope Francis was a prominent clubwoman in Cleveland, Ohio, during the 1920s and 1930s. Much of her community work was done through her membership in the Cleveland Federation of Women's Clubs as member and chairman of its American Citizenship Committee. Mrs. Francis also worked with the City of Cleveland during the tenure of City Manager William R. Hopkins to promote ethnic cultural events and to publicize civic events, including the 1927 reception for Charles A. Lindbergh. In 1929, she helped establish the All Nations Hopkins Testimonial Committee. She was also active in the Women's Organization of the National Retail Druggists Association and the Early Settlers Association of Cuyahoga County. The collection consists of scrapbooks, correspondence, a ledger, and newspaper clippings. Most of the collection relates to Francis' work with the Cleveland Federation of Women's Clubs and with the City of Cleveland, particularly the reception for Charles A. Lindbergh in 1927, and ethnic programs sponsored by the City.

2Title:  Jewish Community Federation of Cleveland Records (Restricted)     
 Creator:  Jewish Community Federation of Cleveland 
 Dates:  1916-1961 
 Abstract:  The Jewish Community Federation is a central policy making and fundraising agency for the Jewish community of Cleveland, Ohio, which traces its origin to the Federation of the Jewish Charities of Cleveland (founded 1903). The Federation of the Jewish Charities of Cleveland changed its name to the Jewish Welfare Federation of Cleveland in 1926, and in 1930, added a fundraising arm, the Jewish Welfare Fund of Cleveland. In 1951 the Jewish Welfare Federation merged with the Jewish Community Council to become the Jewish Community Federation. The collection consists of correspondence, reports, memoranda, and published literature removed from MS 4563 Jewish Community Federation Records because of sensitive or confidential subject matter. It includes records of the Jewish Community Council's Community Relations Committee and its Conciliation and Arbitration Board, as well as case histories from various Jewish social service agencies. The Community Relations Committee investigated allegations of discrimination and antisemitism, and the Conciliation and Arbitration Board mediated conflicts within the Jewish community.
