« Ma petite cocotte chérie… » : 700 lettres d’amour d’un couple durant la guerre aux #Archives du #ValdeMarne

Un habitant de Bry-sur-Marne a trouvé chez sa mère décédée, la correspondance amoureuse de ses grands-parents pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale.

U don « exceptionnel », au titre de sa valeur historique et sentimentale.

A cool set of ribbons on their own in YIVO's huge RG 123 collection of assorted landsmanshaft and mutual aid society materials.

minimal results on google but it seems to be an old Philadelphia mutual aid society: The First Roumanian Ladies Association Agudath Achiois, which was affiliated with the Federation of Roumanian Jews of Philadelphia.

undated, maybe 1910s-20s?

a photo of two red-white-and-blue ribbons sitting on a white background. both have the text on the ribbon FIRST ROUMANIAN LADIES ASS'N. "AGUDAS ACHIOIS". the ribbon on the left is more elaborate with a floral and jewel and tassle top and a little frame on top with the text SECRETARY in it. The other ribbon is less elaborate and is just the plain ribbon with a frame on top that says MEMBER.

Un #JeudiManuscrit en écho à l'atelier de #genealogie la semaine dernière aux #ArchivesDeLyon, où les participants travaillaient sur des sources papier et numérisées.

Ces 2 documents faisaient partie du parcours "Morts pour la France" en suivant Louis Roux, un employé de la Ville de Lyon "disparu depuis le 31 mars 1916 présumé mort".

Cotes 524W/847 et 1576WP/11.

Welcome to my rabbit hole! The Harper and PP show in #YEG the other night surfaced (in my stomach and brain) the “Barbaric Cultural Practices Tip line” campaign promise. The good news is the smart folks at University of Toronto have been archiving “Canadian Political Parties and Interest Groups” since 2005.

In other news, I used the Public Record Office Victoria's *open* API to add more than 6 million records about people to the GLAM Name Index Search (in total there's more than 13 million from 10 #GLAM organisations). There's some notes here: updates.timsherratt.org/2025/0 #archives #familyHistory

updates.timsherratt.org · More than 6 million rows of data from Public Record Office Victoria added to the GLAM Name Index SearchThe GLAM Name Index Search now includes more than 6 million rows of data from the Public Record Office Victoria, downloaded using their public API. The GLAM Name Index Search brings together records that include the names of people from 10 Australian GLAM organisations. With a single search, you can find information about individuals across millions of rows of data. Previous versions of the GLAM Name Index Search included a few datasets from the Public Record Office Victoria that had been shared through government open data portals.

another cool thing that was in the Kolmear collection, though not actually helpful in my research about musicians, were the original application forms to join the organization from ~110 years ago, with occupation and medical history and signatures of members who had sponsored them. of all the landsnmanshaft / mutual aid society collections I've looked at at YIVO, under 10 of the collections had these kinds of intake forms preserved, usually in a mix of English, Yiddish and German.

those relief orgs would often get photos from "back home" where they were sending money for charity or projects. in this one there were a lot from the 1940s either in Kolomyia or a few from Israel where the refugees had been displaced to. in the NY context these relief orgs were especially active in the 1920s post- WWI and Russian Revolution when conditions were quite bad in many Jewish towns, and of course after WWII like these photos, when many of the holocaust survivors returned.

a black and white photo of five people posing in 1940s clothing, the man seated at the middle has crutches and bandages on his feet.
writing on the back of a photo. "Received May 2 19248, from Brauer Solomon Str. St. Cel-Mare 2 Radauti Romania." someone added "He's a Kolmear" in different handwriting.

quite typically a few of these landsmanshaftn / geographically organized mutual aid societies would band together to raise money for a cause back home. like here a few of the Kolomea groups in NY (and sometimes Philadelphia, etc) make a relief organization and hold fundraisers to send food or open an orphanage or factory back home.

in this archival box it was missing the inside pages so I couldn't find out much more than what's on the cover.

a very decayed cover of an old paper pamphlet. there is text in the middle and a line drawing of an elaborate rectangular frame around it. the main text says Purim Ball and Festival given by the Joint Kolomear Relief .. with some details and where and when it took place in 1945.
