Rosalie Arzooni papers
Scope and Contents
The collection consists of approximately 550 photographs, primarily black and white, of Rosalie Arzooni, immediate family, and friends.

The bulk of the photographs depict Rosalie and the family in Israel, with a few images taken during their sojourn in China. These include a number of images of Rosalie (born February 14, 1940) as a child, when she attended the Shanghai Jewish school (including an image of her on her first day). Rosalie's military service in Israel is also documented in a number of photographs. Some of the photographs have inscriptions on the reverse; the majority of these are in Hebrew.
