Scrapbook, personal papers, clippings, other papers, and photographs. The scrapbook, compiled by Pauline Berkowitz, contains clippings, photographs, letters, and event programs related to Berkowitz's education and professional career. It primarily documents Berkowitz's time in Mobile, Ala., until joining the United States Army as a chaplain in 1942. Personal papers include transcripts from the University of Cincinnati and Hebrew Union College; tuition bills and receipts of payment from the University of Cambridge; programs of events from the Cambridge and Oxford Jewish societies; and other items. Other papers include inventories of Berkowitz material elsewhere and a partial oral history of Pauline Berkowitz. Also included is a Loeser family tree (Berkowitz's maternal family). Clippings are primarily from Berkowitz's service as Army chaplain and from around his death in 1983. Photographs document events during his time as Army chaplain, with most photographs from a 1943 Passover seder and 1944 Rosh Hashanah services at Lowry Air Force Base in Colorado. The Addition of 2007 contains a copy of the eulogy read by Bishop James A. Malone at Berkowitz's furneral, clippings, and a Christmas card.
