Correspondence

Correspondence, photographs, photocopies, documents, scrapbooks, daybooks, clippings, ephemera. The papers contain material related to three generations of the Solomon family, including family correspondence from the 1920s to the 1950s (letters, greeting cards, and telegrams), newspaper clippings, engagement and bar mitzvah announcements, invitations, and two daybooks. Notable in the collection is a group of photographs (predominantly from the 1920s but continuing into the 1950s) of Solomon family members and a photo albumn (1920s-1950s), compiled by Florence Solomon Bender, with images of family vacations at Folly Beach and farm trips. Important documents include an original marriage certificate (1918) in English and Hebrew of the nuptials of Isadore Solomon (b. 1897) and Katie Coplan, and miscellaneous World War II-related items such as a 1942 Selective Service Registration certificate and tobacco rationing card.
