| Manuscript Collection | Save | | 2 | Title: | Hebrew Free Loan Association Records, Series III
| | | | Creator: | Hebrew Free Loan Association | | | | Dates: | 1908-1992 | | | | Abstract: | The Hebrew Free Loan Association is a non-profit loan association established in 1904 in Cleveland, Ohio. It was originally founded to aid needy Jewish immigrants but later expanded its service to anyone who could show real need. The collection consists of articles of incorporation, minutes, correspondence, financial statements, loan applications, and lists of loans granted. This collection is of value to those interested in loan records as an index to the effects of changing ethnic neighborhood patterns, Jewish migration from the former Soviet Union, and changing economic circumstances upon members of both the Jewish and non-Jewish communities of Greater Cleveland, Ohio. Of particular interest are records pertaining to the Heights Area Project Mortgage Assistance Program, a cooperative attempt by the Jewish Community Federation and the Hebrew Free Loan Association, and the Soviet Emigre Resettlement Program. | | | | Call #: | MS 4782 | | | | Extent: | 1.00 linear feet (3 containers) | | | | Subjects: | Hebrew Free Loan Association (Cleveland, Ohio) | Jewish Community Federation (Cleveland, Ohio) | Cleveland Bureau of Jewish Education (Cleveland, Ohio). | Heights Area Project Mortgage Assistance Program (Cleveland Heights, Ohio). | Soviet Emigre Resettlement Program. | Jews -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Jews -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Charities. | Jews -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Societies, etc. | Friendly societies -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Jews, Soviet -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Charities -- Ohio -- Cleveland.
