ProvenanceROSENBERRG, Louise (ROSENBL)
Scope & ContentPersonal Papers - Letters, correspondence, both typed and handwritten; photographs; notes, essays, articles; printed material such as external articles and essays; ephemera such as personal invitations; reports; minutes; genealogical research; conference notes; etc. This series was collected and created by Louise Rosenberg as part of her personal papers and as they related to the Rosenberg's involvement, participation, activities and contributions in the community, particulary as Honorary Secretary of AJHS. The series is a way of "evidencing and memorialising" her life, activities, interests, contributions, involvement, experiences, relationships with others and to portray her identity, significance and place in the Jewish community. The primary concern in the analysis is to ascertain why the records were created rather than what they contain, how they were created and utilised by the original user, in this instance, rather than how they might be used in the future, and what formal functions and mandates of the creator they supported rather than what internal structure or physical characteristics they may or may not have. The personal papers were part of a donation by the family and might not contain papers relating to all the activities, roles and positions occupied as outlined above. They are incorporated into the "collective archives" of AJHS so that this "evidence" is made an accessible part of the society's memory and cultural identity. Please note that the overall date range of series /001 includes items specifically, personal ephemera such as passports, identity cards, birth and marriage certificates and photographs. The dates often predate her birth, involvement/role in the community. Consignment 2 was part of the AB collection.
