Biographical Note
This collection was compiled between 1949-1989 by Rabbi Floyd Fierman, Ph.D. (1917-1989),
who served Temple Mount Sinai of El Paso, Texas from 1949 to 1979. His leadership in the
community extended far beyond the temple. He was actively engaged in combating racism and
fighting for civil rights in El Paso. He was also dedicated to interfaith education and
communication and to tracking the history of Jews in the binational southwest.
This collection is the result of his interest in the careers and accomplishments of Jewish
pioneers who moved west with their families seeking opportunities of various sorts. As these
pioneers settled, they built synagogues, business interests, and communities. By 1860 there
was a strong Jewish presence in America's western-most reaches.
Although Fierman was not trained as a professional historian, his contributions to the
field included several books and monographs on Jews of the southwest, including Guts and Ruts: The Jewish Pioneer on the Trail in the American
Southwest (1984), and its sequel Roots and Boots (1988). He also wrote for several scholarly journals including Western States Jewish History,
American Jewish Historical Quarterly, American Jewish Archives, and Arizona and the Southwest.
In his search for historically-significant materials, Fierman photocopied documents from
many regional repositories, such as the New Mexico State Records Center and Archives. He
also maintained close contact with archivists and librarians from all over the country in
his quest for materials and documents. He developed a particularly close relationship with
the late Rabbi Jacob Marcus, archivist and historian at the American Jewish Archives.
A sizable portion of the material collected is a product of Rabbi Fierman's notes as taken
down on whatever material was available to him at the moment, including hotel and airplane
stationery. He often recopied these notes several times and compiled elaborate appendixes to
the files which are often longer and more complex than the original record.
Scope and Content Note
The material in this collection is organized into geographic location of the Jewish
individuals, families, or institutions researched. Folders within each grouping are
organized alphabetically according to the name of the relevant individual, institution, or
the subject matter of the file. Note that materials within this collection include
photocopies or other surrogates of originals. For this reason, date ranges on folders tends
to reflect original materials rather than surrogates. Some materials remain undated.
