Moss Family Of Philadelphia

The Moss family papers are comprised chiefly of the 13 v. Lucien Moss scrapbook collection. The scrapbooks contain newspaper clippings of Jewish interest from 1840-1895, primarily from Philadelphia and New York newspapers. Clippings deal extensively with social and domestic affairs in Philadelphia and New York, the persecution of Jews in Russia and Romania and relief efforts on their behalf by American Jewry and Baron Moritz de Hirsch, religious and cultural efforts and trends, noted Jewish personalities, the history of the Jewish communities in Philadelphia, New York, and elsewhere. Vol. 12 contains clippings pertaining to the Philadelphia Guardians of the Poor, of which Lucien Moss was a Board member from 1882-1884. As well as the scrapbooks, the collection includes Lucien Moss' papers (1878-1881), and family records and correspondence of Joseph Lyons Moss, John Moss and William Moss.
