Admin History/Bio
The Ostrowtzer Relief Committee in New York, initially established in 1937 as the United Ostrowzer Relief Committee, brought together various Ostrowtzer organizations, including the two branches of the Workmen's Circle, the Ostrowtzer synagogue, and the International Worker’s Order Ostrowtzer branch. Its mission was to provide aid to Ostrowtzers in need. Over the following fifteen years, the committee successfully collected a total of $23,744.58.
The funds collected were put to meaningful use. From 1937 to 1939, money was directed towards various charitable institutions in Ostrowiec, including the Orphan's home. In 1940, the committee extended its support to Ostrowtzers in Wilna and Kowno facing challenging circumstances. Following the Second World War, the committee continued its mission, collaborating with committees in North American and Europe to send money to aid survivors in Europe and Israel. The committee ceased operations in 1952.
Scope and Content
Sub-series consists of correspondence from the Ostrowtzer Relief Committee in New York to Max Hartstone and the United Ostrowtzer Hilfs Committee. The materials document various matters relating to relief efforts for Holocaust survivors and organizational concerns within the Ostrovtzer community.

Admin History/Bio
The Gelber Brothers, Louis and Moses, were born in what is now Austria in the late nineteenth century. Together they founded the Imperial Clothing Company, which later became Gelber Brothers Woollens. Their head office was located in the Gelber Building at 217-225 Richmond Street West. Although selling woollens was their main business, the brothers had other investments, including ownership of a service station at Simcoe and Richmond and a public garage at 287 Spadina Avenue. After the brothers died, the family sold the woollens business and invested in real estate.
Scope and Content
File consists of architectural and technical drawings of a large seven storey building at 205 Richmond Street West, commissioned for the Gelber Brothers. It does not appear that the Gelber Brothers ever used the building for their own operations, but rather, leased it out to other garment manufacturers. Elevations, sections, a roof plan, floor plans, a block plan and detailing of the entrance are included. Also included are technical drawings of structural elements of the building as well as schedules for the construction of the building.
Notes
Due to the fragility of these drawings, the description is partially based on the item level descriptions compiled by Steve Speisman. Drawings are located in two separate rolls.
This building was previously erroneously identified as the Gelber Building at 217-225 Richmond Street West.
Physical Condition
Some drawings are fragile and torn.
