Scope and Contents Note
The Bess and Paul Sigel Hebrew Academy records(1940-2012; 7.5 cubic feet) documents the history of the Academy.
A large portion of this collection consists of materials describing various volunteer and fundraising efforts by the school.
The second major accretion to this collectionn was material accumulated by Leon Chameides while in the process of writing his book "Teach them Dilligently to Your Children: The Story of the Yeshiva of Hartford/Bess and Paul Sigel Hebrew Academy". Chameides donated this material to the JHSGH on behalf of the Hebrew Academy. It consists of photographs, newspapers clippings, and other complimentary records to the origirnal portion. There is a large portion of photographs from school activities in the 1980s and 1990s. There are very few official school records in the collection. The photographs and negatives were sampled.
