Custodial History
The Shapiro Spanish Civil War Scrapbook was donated to Brandeis University by Barbara and Ralph Shapiro "To honor Gert and Harry whose son Wilfred "Mendy" Mendelson fell in Spain July 28, 1938." This collection came to New York University in January 2001 with the Abraham Lincoln Brigade Archive (ALBA) collections, formerly housed at Brandeis.
