We are pleased to announce that through a special arrangement with the
Philadelphia Jewish Archives Center (PJAC) the Research Room will provide
access to the following record groups:

1. All of the Philadelphia Jewish Ethnic Bank records. The indices to these
records are online at:
Blitzstein Bank - http://www.jewishgen.org/databases/USA/PhilaBlitzstein.htm
Lipshutz Bank - http://www.jewishgen.org/databases/USA/PhilaLipshutz.htm
Rosenbaum Bank - http://www.jewishgen.org/databases/USA/PhilaRosenbaum.htm

You will save time by creating your list and having it with you when you
come to Philadelphia.

Please be advised that those not attending the conference may still use the
indices in order to request records directly >from PJAC at their new
location.

wish to access the following record groups:

1. NEIGHBORHOOD CENTRE records
Regarding aid to families in crisis or with special needs.

2. NATIONAL COUNCIL of JEWISH WOMEN records
These are cards which were created when aiding immigrants in the
naturalization process. The records sometimes contain more information than
the naturalization documents themselves.

See you in Philly!
