|  | Abstract: | Photographs and related glass plate negatives, taken between
                1887 and 1899. The bulk of the material is comprised of the photographic plates
                taken by Leo Goldschmidt, a pioneer of the Tucson area. The plates have all been
                printed. Images include family, friends, his businesses and business interests, and
                personal residences in Arizona and Sonora, Mexico. This collection is part of the
                Southwest Jewish Archives. The Bloom Southwest Jewish Archives were founded by David
                A. and Leona G. Bloom, longstanding members of Tucson's business, religious, and
                social service communities. The Archive serves to highlight Jewish contributions to
                Tucson and surrounding southwest areas. This collection was previously SJA 002. The
                materials were transferred to Special Collections in 1998. |  |
