Custodial History
Most of the home movies in this collection were made by Karl and Diane Berolzheimer and by Diane's father Jacob Glick. The Berolzheimer's received Jacob Glick's films after his death in 1965. They cared for his and their films until they donated them to Chicago Film Archives in 2005. Three rolls of film were shot by the father-in-law of Diane's cousin, Robert Sommerfeld. They were donated to CFA by the Berolzheimers on 2010-10-12.

Series III contains the films shot by Manuel Goldman, who was the father-in-law of Diane's cousin, Robert Sommerfeld.
