Benderly, Samson, 1876-1944

The Industrial Removal Office was created as part of the Jewish Agricultural Society to assimilate immigrants into American society, both economically and culturally. It worked to employ all Jewish immigrants. The collection contains administrative and financial records, immigrants' removal records, and correspondence. A database has been constructed to search for persons removed by the Industrial Removal Office.

The collection includes conventional proceedings, speeches, annual reports, informational pamphlets, and other public documents of the organized Jewish Community of New York City, formed in 1908 and incorporated in 1914.

This collection contains constitution, by-laws, budgets (1915-1916), Administrative Committee Agenda (1916), program of the opening exercises, the program of study, the evening lecture series program, a diploma, and correspondence relating to the school. Among the latter, the most significant is that of Samson Benderly.

This collection contains the papers of Samuel J. Citron, dramatist and educator.
