Hadassah Celebrates 100 Years
Curated by Nikki Lynn Thomas, Manuscripts Curator
April - June 2012
Hadassah, the Women’s Zionist Organization of America, was founded by Henrietta Szold in New York City on February 24, 1912. The San Antonio Chapter of Hadassah was formally organized April 9, 1921, with a charter membership of 20 women. The San Antonio Chapter, like the national organization, provides education and youth programs, promotes health awareness, and provides personal enrichment and growth for its members. In celebration of the 100th anniversary of Hadassah, UTSA Special Collections presents an exhibition of materials from the San Antonio Chapter of Hadassah Records. Archival materials on display include scrapbooks, photographs, correspondence, newsletters and assorted ephemera.
Visit the exhibition in the Special Collections Reading Room on the 4th floor of the John Peace Library 9am-12 noon, 1pm-4pm, Monday-Wednesday.
