Daniel Carkner🥀the banquet journals that were put out for each charity event or for anniversaries of the mutual aid organization were supported by advertisements from people in the local NY community or from fraternal organizations. here's one that made me chuckle:<a href="https://historians.social/tags/archives" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#archives</a> <a href="https://historians.social/tags/JewishHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#JewishHistory</a> <a href="https://historians.social/tags/%D0%9A%D0%BE%D0%BB%D0%BE%D0%BC%D0%B8%D1%8F" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Коломия</a> <a href="https://historians.social/tags/landsmanshaft" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#landsmanshaft</a>

Daniel Carkner🥀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 href="https://historians.social/tags/archives" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#archives</a> <a href="https://historians.social/tags/%D0%9A%D0%BE%D0%BB%D0%BE%D0%BC%D0%B8%D1%8F" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Коломия</a> <a href="https://historians.social/tags/MutualAid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MutualAid</a> <a href="https://historians.social/tags/JewishHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#JewishHistory</a>

Daniel Carkner🥀In a few of their commemorative pamphlets they use this kind of muscle-men art that I've seen in other Jewish fraternal organization documents of the time. I'm not an expert on this kind of imagery but I'm guessing it's coming from a progressive, enlightenment, labor-socialist kind of aesthetic...? Anyways, very cool.<a href="https://historians.social/tags/MuscleMen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MuscleMen</a> <a href="https://historians.social/tags/archives" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#archives</a> <a href="https://historians.social/tags/JewishHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#JewishHistory</a> <a href="https://historians.social/tags/%D0%9A%D0%BE%D0%BB%D0%BE%D0%BC%D0%B8%D1%8F" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Коломия</a>

Daniel Carkner🥀the other day in my research at YIVO I was looking at the materials of the Kolomear Friends Association, a mutual aid society of NY immigrant Jews from Kolomyia (then in Galicia, Austria-Hungary, today in Ukraine). It tickled two of my soft spots, I love mutual aid societies with Friends in the name and I love the dance/song form kolomeyka, which exists in <a href="https://historians.social/tags/klezmer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#klezmer</a> and <a href="https://historians.social/tags/Ukrainian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Ukrainian</a> music and is named after this place🤓 will have to visit it one day.<a href="https://historians.social/tags/%D0%9A%D0%BE%D0%BB%D0%BE%D0%BC%D0%B8%D1%8F" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Коломия</a> <a href="https://historians.social/tags/YIVO" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#YIVO</a> <a href="https://historians.social/tags/archives" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#archives</a> <a href="https://historians.social/tags/JewishHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#JewishHistory</a>
