Annie and Jake Livshis Family Papers, Circa 1880s - 2000s
0.5 Linear Feet — One manuscript box — Good condition.
The Annie and Jake Livshis Family Papers document the history of the Mindlin-Lisvhis family, centering on Diament's research on her great-aunt Annie Mindlin Livshis (1864-1953). Born in Russia, Livshis was a Jewish feminist, anarchist, trade unionist, and homesteader who lived in the Lasker Colony, Kansas, and in Chicago. In the process of writing a book on Livshis that was never published, Diament accumulated photocopies of archival records about the Mindlin and Livshis families, photographs, and secondary sources about Jewish Americans in Kansas. Diament's collection also includes correspondence about her research.
The Annie and Jake Livshis Family Papers focus mainly on her great aunt and uncle, Annie and Jake Livshis. Although the couple were very active in anarchist circles, the main focus of this collection is their genealogy and their Kansas homestead where they were part of a Jewish agricultural colony.
