Daniel Carkner🥀<p>Most unhinged letter I've seen yet in my archival research😭 in YIVO's collection about the landsmanshaft mentioned in the letter.

Daniel Carkner🥀<p>a great retrospective on the history of YIVO, where I've been doing research for the last 2 months or so.<br><a href="https://forward.com/culture/705433/yivo-institute-for-jewish-research-100-years-yiddish/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">forward.com/culture/705433/yiv</span><span class="invisible">o-institute-for-jewish-research-100-years-yiddish/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://historians.social/tags/Yiddish" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Yiddish</span></a> <a href="https://historians.social/tags/YIVO" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>YIVO</span></a></p>

Daniel Carkner🥀<p>Found this incredibly petty draft of a letter amongst a stack of cemetery related correspondences from a Bacauer landsmanshaft org. from the 60s in the YIVO archive 🫣</p><p><a href="https://historians.social/tags/GrumpyMen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GrumpyMen</span></a> <a href="https://historians.social/tags/archives" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>archives</span></a> <a href="https://historians.social/tags/YIVO" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>YIVO</span></a></p>

Dan Carkner🎻<p>In my first afternoon at YIVO I had to pick something to get called down to the reading room so I picked a collection I had identified last year, the records of the Glinianer Young Men's Benevolent Association, a landsmanshaft mutual aid society for New York Jews from Gliniany, Galicia, Austria-Hungary (now Poland). I already knew from some online sleuthing that New York Klezmer violinist Beresh Katz was active in the Association.</p><p><a href="https://klezmor.im/tags/Archives" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Archives</span></a> <a href="https://klezmor.im/tags/YIVO" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>YIVO</span></a> <a href="https://klezmor.im/tags/JewishHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>JewishHistory</span></a> <a href="https://klezmor.im/tags/Galicia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Galicia</span></a> <a href="https://klezmor.im/tags/Poland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Poland</span></a></p>
