In English, German and Hungarian.</p> <p>The appointment books, previously labeled as \"diaries,\" are primarily in Hungarian. They document Schwimmer's daily activities during the period of 1901 to 1948, often containing notes on topics discussed during appointments.</p> <p>Schwimmer's address books and calling cards are arranged chronologically, with overlapping dates. Many of the address books and packets of loose addresses and cards were grouped by geographic region (for example, \"Chicago\" or \"Europe\"), in addition to the section of calling cards originally labeled \"IWSA calling cards, 1904-1906.\"</p> <p>Her telephone log books record over thirty years of telephone calls, frequently listing contact, telephone number, subject discussed, and some notes on details of the conversation.</p> <p>The small amount of medical records in the collection consist of selections from Schwimmer's \"medical notebooks\" containing daily charts on her medicines, diets, tests and experimental diabetes treatments; medical correspondence; hospital records, including billing; and information on her last illness, death and post-mortem report. Also included is a small amount of information on the health of her mother Berta Katscher Schwimmer.</p> <p>Additional materials include job reference letters, the list of books in her home library prior to its shipment to the U.S., a list of books she read between 1921 and 1933, and assorted family and personal artifacts.</p> <p>Among the artifacts is her \"famous black bag\" of documents from the Ford Peace Expedition, sans documents; a leather portfolio and pencils from the Neutral Conference; a 1915 Kodak Vest Pocket Autographic Special camera; pacifist, suffragist and woman suffrage pins and ribbons and calendars; and other miscellany. The Kodak Vest Pocket camera, the model popularly known as \"the Soldier's Camera,\" is accompanied by a note from Edith Wynner. Wynner wrote that the camera was temporarily confiscated by German authorities in 1915. It was also given into her own safekeeping in 1940 when Schwimmer, considered an enemy alien in the U.S., was forbidden to own a camera. The suffragist pins and ribbons represent the woman suffrage movement in several countries, among them Hungary, Germany, Denmark, the Netherlands, and the United States. Of note is the January 1915 pin from the founding of the Woman's Peace Party in the U.S.</p> <p>Additional artifacts having belonged to Rosika Schwimmer can be found in the Schwimmer Family Papers.</p> <p>All artifacts are available only by advance permission of the Curator of Manuscripts.</p>"}
