The Financial series (1966-2007) contains a variety of different kinds of financial records from 1966 to 2004 including budgets, fundraising, book and gift store records, and certificates awarded to the Sisterhood for Torah Fund fundraising.

The series includes copies of “Sisterhood News”, a column in the synagogue bulletin, from the 1980s until about 2000, as well as news from the Women’s League for Conservative Judaism, the Midwest Branch of the same, and other Jewish organizations. It also contains membership directories and Agudas Achim yearbooks.
