�The United Syrian Charitable Society was organized on Feb. 3. 1907. The organizers, namely
Aziz A. Aziz, Abdo A. Aziz, Abdo Saliby. Abda lla Aziz, Solomon E. Aziz, George A. Peters, Jo seph
Richie, and F e rris Jaheely met in a little home on Oak street and formulated plans for a strong union
amongst the small minority in the city at that ti~e. Th e ma in purpose was to provide a suita bl e place
for mee tings a nd also to provide a decent place of burial for all Arabic speaking people of our
community. From humble quarte rs the organization has enjoyed a re markable growth and today occupies
spacious quarters which are now b eing made ready for all occasions. The years were not without
hardship and work, but the fact that the organization is today celebrating its 40th Anniversary. is proof
enough of its fine reputation and the place it holds in the hearts of its p eople . It has served nobly a nd
its principles of charity and good will have h elped it create an e nviable position as one of the leading
organizations of its kind in the country. The United Syrian Ceme te ry, which is in part one of the
main objectives of the organization is one of the very few owned and maintained by our people. ln
fact the United Syrian Cemetery was the first established by our people in th e United States. Of
the organizers, some have passed on to their eternal rew a rd, and some a re present w ith us on this
memorable occasion. \Ve owe them a debt of gratitude for their ambition and foresight in establishin g
for us a meeting place a nd through that means have promoted the social and cultural life of many
of our p eople. Th e organization has never b een found wanting in the civic aHairs of our city and
h as always been one of the leade rs in any ·movement sponsored by the community. On this happy
occasion: the organizatio'~. which is non sectarian, is open for me mbership, and is looking forward
to many more years of meritorious service to .i ts p eople and community.

Description
An account of the resource
<h4>Biographical/Historical Note</h4>
<p>In the first decades of the 20th century, Lawrence, Massachusetts was home to one of the largest populations of Syrian and Lebanese immigrants in the United States. These individuals were drawn to the industrial town to find work in its textile mills. The community in Lawrence created several charitable societies and was involved in the establishment of the St. Joseph's Melkite Church and St. Anthony's Maronite church. Additionally, the <span>Zahley Association published the Arabic-language newspaper <a href="https://lebanesestudies.omeka.chass.ncsu.edu/collections/show/62" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><em>al-Wafa</em></a> in Lawrence.<br /></span></p>
<p>The birth, school, and immigration records included in this collection were provided by children and their families in order to verify the ages of young immigrants. This was necessary in order for teenagers and young adults to prove they were old enough to work. Though nationwide laws regulating and restricting work for children 16 and under were not ratified in the United States until 1938, Massachusetts was the first state to create child labor laws in 1836. By the early 1900s, when many families settled in the booming mill town of Lawrence, various state legislation governed the ability of minors to work. Not only were children under 16 prohibited from working in factories, the state also issued fines to people who employed minors who were illiterate in English. This led to the growth of night schools and schools dedicated specifically to teaching immigrant children to speak, read, and write English. Thus, work permits were typically issued by schools. Once age and literacy were verified, teenagers would be issued a work permit. Whie it is unknown how many youth and factory owners circumvented these laws, these records indicate that many attempted to conform.</p>
<h4>Scope/Contents Note</h4>
<p>This collection contains materials housed at the <a href="https://queencityma.wordpress.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Lawrence Public Library Special Collections</a> that were originally kept by the Oliver School. They were digitized and provided to the KCLDS Archive by archivist Louise Sandberg in fall 2017 as part of a research project into the substantial Syrian/Lebanese population that lived in Lawrence, Massachussetts. To view the project visit <a href="https://lebanesestudies.ncsu.edu/explore/projects/lawrence/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">"Legacies of Labor"</a> on the Khayrallah Center's website. </p>
<p>The Collection of Lawrence Public Library Materials contains documents relating to the civic and religious activities of Syrio-Lebanese immigrants in Lawrence. It also includes birth, school, and immigration records for children and young adults who immigrated from Greater Syria (particularly the areas encompassing modern-day Lebanon and Syria) and lived in Lawrence, Massachusetts, in the early 20th century.</p>
<p>This collection displays the variety of records that Syrian and Lebanese immigrants used to prove their age. Because many did not have birth certificates, a large number of the proof of birth records consist of correspondences with clergy in Greater Syria, who consulted baptismal records to confirm age. Other records are from the process of immigration, and include documents from both Marseilles, France, and Ellis Island, New York. Some records were requested from officials or individuals in America, and consist both of missives from immigration officials and from private individuals.</p>
<p>The collection also includes records issued by schools, which verify age through years of schooling. Included among some of these school records are short documents handwritten by young immigrants to prove their literacy in English. In addition to records proving age, some individuals have additional documents including work permits and physician's certificates of health.</p>
