Baron de Hirsch Fund records [electronic resource], 1882-1991 1882-1935. [1882-1991]

The Baron de Hirsch Fund records document the organization's involvement in the planning of agricultural communities across the United States and to some extent in South America; the founding and administrative dealings of agricultural and trade schools; the establishment of the Jewish Agricultural and Industrial Aid Society; and the business records of the Fund itself. The collection documents the protection offered to immigrants through port work, relief, temporary aid, promotion of suburban industrial enterprises and removal from urban centres through the Industrial Removal Office, land settlement, agricultural training, and trade and general education. In this respect, the collection is of major interest for Jewish genealogists as it documents a number of individual immigrants. In addition, the collection contains documentation on the administration and organization of the Fund, Jewish farming colonies such as the Woodbine Colony and Woodbine Agricultural School, and the Baron de Hirsch Trade School. The collection includes blueprints and photographs of facilities.
