January 20, 1995

full "Jewish unity weekend" article transcribed (fits entirely on this one page, no jump needed). The adjoining "Austinite is named chairman of group promoting vouchers" story shares the page but is about the CEO America school-voucher program, not Jewish community life, so it isn't transcribed here.

January 13, 1994

full article transcribed (fits entirely on this one Religion-page scan, no jump needed).

December 11, 1958

full article transcribed from the downloaded scan (Society page, shares the page with unrelated club-news items and ads). Fits entirely on this one page, no jump needed.

May 14, 1948

front-page lead article transcribed from the downloaded scan. Story continues "on Page 2, Col. 5" per the jump line, but only the front page is on file for this item — no continuation scan recorded/linked. Rest of front page (Minnesota meatpacking-plant strike, farm aid program, Senator Overton's death, etc.) is unrelated wire/local news and not transcribed here.

February 11, 1908

full speech transcribed from the downloaded scan (fits entirely on this one page, no jump needed). Heavily worn 1908 typeface with archaic phrasing — transcribed by hand and cross-checked, but a few names/words (e.g. "Boris Kazmann") are best-effort reads of a degraded print and could not be independently verified.

July 21, 1905

title corrected to match the scan's actual printed headline, "Two Centuries and a Half of Jewish Americans." Full-page feature with portraits of the national committee planning the 250th-anniversary commemoration of Jewish settlement in America — Jacob H. Schiff, chairman, with Cyrus Adler, Louis Marshall, Oscar Straus, Isaac N. Seligman, Edward Lauterbach, Adolph Lewisohn, Louis Stern, and others pictured.

September 12, 1878

This scan is still being reviewed — check back soon for the full article.

December 24, 1876

re-extracted text confirms this is a Sam Friedberger "Temple of Fashion" (Austin) advertisement — 25% off the store's entire stock of dry goods, carpets, oil cloths, mattings, window shades, and rugs. Page is otherwise ad-heavy; no further re-scan needed.

December 26, 1872

re-extracted text confirms the Hebrew Benevolent Society notice — a meeting is announced for the first Sunday in January at the Mayor's office. Rest of page (wire reports, local ads, holiday news) is poor OCR as expected for a full page; earliest item in this set.
