He directed the Federation of Jewish Charities beginning in 1907, overseeing its 1926 transformation from a primarily charitable organization into a social, cultural, spiritual, and philanthropic agency. Goldhamer's son, Walter, was an engineer and business executive who served as chairman of the Cleveland-based Superior Die Casting. He was known for his prizewinning designs, including an optical mount die used in some Kodak Super 8 projectors in the 1960's. The collection consists of certificates, correspondence, a genealogical chart, and newspaper clippings. | | | | Call #: | MS 5000 | | | | Extent: | 0.20 linear feet (1 container) | | | | Subjects: | Goldhamer, Samuel, 1883-1982. | Goldhamer, Walter, 1911-1994. | Goldhamer family. | Federation of Jewish Charities (Cleveland, Ohio) | Jewish Welfare Federation (Cleveland, Ohio) | Jewish Community Federation (Cleveland, Ohio) | Superior Die Casting Corporation (Cleveland, Ohio) | Jews -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Charities. | Philanthropists -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Jews -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Jewish engineers -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Executives -- Ohio -- Cleveland.
