1) Materials on the founding and activities of Jewish charitable societies, including correspondence with the Austrian Ministry of Finance and the Bukovina District Administration on monetary contributions to a Jewish student aid foundation by Amalie Zucker, a resident of the town of Czernowitz (1867); documents, applications, and correspondence with the Jewish religious community of Czernowitz on the issuance of loans to the community’s board from funding provided by the Leo Friedfertig foundation (1889-1903); on the use of funds from this foundation donated by Leo Friedfertig, a resident of the city of Dornawatra, for charitable purposes (1913-18); on establishing scholarships for underprivileged Jewish students at the Czernowitz and Suczawa gymnasiums, to be funded by Jewish philanthropic foundations (1891-94, 1915-18), in particular, a scholarship funded by the Amalie Zucker foundation, with lists of scholarship recipients (1894-1907); and the deed by which heirs of Isaak Rubinstein, a resident of the city of Czernowitz, donated funds to a charitable foundation (1889-1907). The fonds also contains lists of charitable societies in Bukovina, with names and addresses of their chairs (1898); announcements, information, and correspondence with the Bukovina District Treasury on the issuance of benefits from the Rubinstein and other foundations (1908-09, 1911); reports, applications, and correspondence with the administration of the Czernowitz Children’s Hospital on using funding from the Hermann Fischer charitable foundation (1911-18); a ruling on a petition by a Jewish charitable association to aid craftsmen in Czernowitz (“Israelitischer Allgemeiner Handwerker-Krankenunterstützungsverein”) for the allotment of land for the construction of an alms house (1913).
2) Files on the categorisation of particular estates of Jewish landowners as independent administrative units, including petitions of J. and K. Fischer, landowners from the village of Teodorești, requesting that their estates be categoried as independent units (1909-13); correspondence with the Administrative Court of Austria in Vienna on the consideration of a petition by Bernhard Rosenstock, who requested the overturning of the Bukovina Diet Executive Committee’s rejection of his petition to have his estate categorised as a separate administrative unit (1911-12); correspondence with the Putilla County Court to approve a purchase-and-sale agreement between the community of Dichtenitz and the resident Solomon Sherf (1907).
