Series III. Unrelated documents, 1765–1968, undated
Scope and ContentsThe items in this series are unrelated to those in Series I and II, and are unrelated, for the most part, to each other. They include a mix of 18th, 19th, and 20th-century documents in a variety of formats: contracts, deeds, ephemera, photographs, and a few objects. Of chief interest are the two large, mounted photographs of attendees to the convention of the Verhovay Aid Society, a Hungarian national fraternal organization, at Passaic, New Jersey, in July 1914. |
