| repository | American Jewish Historical Society Archives |
| description | The Family Papers of John Langeloth Loeb (JLL) and Frances "Peter" Lehman Loeb (FLL) focuses on the home, work, and philanthropic lives of John and Frances. However, this sweeping collection of correspondence, business and home-related records and photographs also includes material on the parents and children of JLL and FLL. John and Frances were prominent financiers, philanthropists, and members of the Jewish elite and 20th century high society. The voluminous collection is divided into series and subseries that center solely on JLL and FLL as individuals, as a family, and as an philanthropic force. The collection is rounded out with additions of the oral history collection of Kenneth Libo, biographer of JLL and FLL, plus the Loeb family genealogy research of museum director emeritus, Judith Endelman. Rounding out the family papers is a vast collection of family photographs ranging from intimate family portraits and outings, plus social event gatherings such as art gallery openings and White House dinners, plus the meticulously documented photography travel albums of Arthur and Adele Lehman. The collection also contains ephemera, blueprints, financial records, and press and newspaper clippings. |
