The Austro-Hungarian Orthodox Jewish congregation Poale Zedeck was chartered in 1881. The existing synagogue in Squirrel Hill was dedicated in 1929. In 1956, the Rabbi Joseph Shapiro Educational Center adjacent to the synagogue was dedicated as the site of the congregation Hebrew school. The congregation currently has a membership of about 300 families. The collection consists of materials relating to the administration, the board of directors, the membership and auxiliary organizations. The materials include account ledgers, correspondence, death certificates, event programs, membership lists, minutes, school class lists, sisterhood newsletters, a sisterhood scrapbook, seating assignments and a few photographs from the congregation 100th anniversary banquet.
