Papers of Anne X. Alpern, 1918-1974.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/77080041

Alpern's papers highlight her activities and career achievements and provide a glimpse of her family life and hobbies. Court case files, some of which are closed, show many of Alpern's cases, both as an attorney and as a judge. Other types of records range from correspondence to reports from professional conferences to photographs. Some of the most readily-usable information is provided by a series of newspaper clippings, in folders and scrapbooks. These cover Alpern's career through articles and political cartoons. Two sub-series of this collection within Alpern's personal papers come from Alpern's husband Irwin Swiss. These include a very limited set of records from his law practice and public offices, as well as journals, newspaper and magazine clippings, and notes on literature and politics, many pertaining to Zionism. Further notes are found at the series level.
