The Elisabeth Jastrow papers include personal and professional correspondence, unpublished manuscripts, extensive research notes and photographic documentation on terracotta altars, teaching notes, and material related to her father, Ignaz Jastrow, a noted economist and historian. Elisabeth Jastrow's correspondence, ca. 3400 letters exchanged with almost 500 correspondents, documents both the personal and professional aspects of her life. Professionally, Jastrow carried on a substantial correspondence with the leading classical archaeologists of her day, including Margarete Bieber, Paul Jacobsthal and Paola Zancani Montuori. These letters contain both material pertaining to Jastrow's specific research on terracottas and general news of the archaeological world. Jastrow's personal correspondence includes extended exchanges with other German émigré scholars, such as Hedwig Kohn, with old friends, such as Elsa Brinckmann, and with family members, such as Beate Hahn and Cornelia Hahn Oberlander. Jastrow's professional life is further documented by her research and writings, her teaching materials from the Women's College of the University of North Carolina, Greensboro and miscellaneous professional papers. Her research and writings, the largest portion of the archive, include an unpublished comprehensive study of terracotta altars (arulae) in the Greek colonies in southern Italy and Sicily, as well as the production materials and offprints of her publications. Beginning with her unpublished dissertation and continuing through successive versions of that work and a lifetime of research on the topic, Jastrow amassed notes, photographs and drawings of this object type. Jastrow's teaching materials preserved here include notes for her lectures, as well as slides and study photographs. Jastrow's personal papers include documentation relating to her immigration and to her legal claims against Germany for restitution and compensation after the war, as well as general financial papers, address books and personal photographs. Also included in Jastrow's personal papers are materials related to her father, Ignaz Jastrow.
