Robert Edelman Collection
Scope and Content Note
The collection contains two manuscripts and assorted postcards and photographs.
The typed manuscript in folder 1 recounts the events of the revolution in Germany from 1918-1919 and includes numerous photographs of fighting, specifically in Berlin. The manuscript in the oversized folder is handwritten, anonymous, and undated, but was certainly written before World War II. It contains countless fabric and wallpaper samples and describes the chemical components used to acquire the various colors and shades. The postcards in folder 2 were written during World War I and the photographs are of one family who emigrated to Amsterdam during the 1930s but were eventually killed by the Nazis. The photographs include captions but no names. The contents of the collection all appear to be connected to the Ury family, one of whom was married to Robert Edelman, the donor.
