Donations
Dear Friends and FamilyAs we enter the last few months of 2016, we take this opportunity to reflect upon our accomplishments and look forward to the exciting year ahead. Your support has enabled the Straus Historical Society to provide quality research, documentation, preservation and educational programs. Your continued support will help us to enhance our existing endeavors and create new opportunities.
In the past year, Assistant Director Catherine Smith has completed the addition of the Donald Blun Straus collection into the archive and is now working on adding material from his brother, Ralph Isidor Straus’ collection. This project will officially mark the completion of cataloging all backlogged materials in the Society’s care. SHS has been the recipient of numerous donations of materials this year, including a set of 24 Nathan Straus Pasteurized Milk Bottles and their metal carrier. This acquisition, in addition to the many other priceless artifacts the Society has received, has been added to the archive. In January, the Society welcomed its new intern, Marissa Pelliccia, who has been diligently working to digitize the SHS archive. She has completed three collections. You will be notified when this material comes online, which is scheduled for before the end of December. Throughout the year, SHS Director Joan Adler gave presentations in New York City, Long Island and Georgia. These presentations have led to an increase in the Society’s exposure, as well as opportunities to collaborate with new and interested individuals and organizations. |

This updated book is now available on the SHS website. It includes the entire original book, plus bonus photographs and articles. We are pleased to report that Under Four Administrations: From Cleveland to Taft by Oscar S. Straus will be available soon. Like Disease in Milk, Oscar’s autobiography took months of scanning, formatting and adding materials to complete.
