The Montefiore Hospital Collection, 1898-1990
Montefiore Hospital was founded as a Jewish hospital in 1908 in order to provide training and hospital affiliation for Jewish doctors who were denied those opportunities elsewhere and to furnish Jewish patients with hospital care in a Jewish setting with kosher food. Money was raised for the hospital by a group of women who had formed an organization, the Hebrew Ladies Hospital Aid Society, in 1898, to provide care for the Jewish immigrants who were arriving in Pittsburgh. The records include meeting minutes, financial reports, legal documents, staff rosters, lists of the trustees, organizational history, photographs, clippings, brochures, magazines, and newsletters.
