SERIES V. A Travel
A variety of files kept by Muriel M. Berman and Philip I. Berman on their extensive travels has been combined here into a single chronological sequence. Much printed material is included, such as travel brochures, picture postcards, museum guidebooks, theater programs, and newspaper clippings; there are occasional photographs, notably the 1966 photo of Muriel Berman with Imelda Marcos; there are documents such as receipts and itineraries; and there is correspondence with people whom Philip and Muriel Berman met on their travels, as well as a fine series of letters home by Muriel Berman in 1957-1958. The first major trip represented here is the trip through Africa in 1957-1958. The round-the-world trips in 1959 and 1964 are well represented, as are the visits to Ethopia in 1966 and Iran in 1974. Because of the Bermans= wide ranging interests, these travel files are not simply vacationers= mementoes; they contain, for example, information on art, on religion, and on Jewish affairs. Some of the travel files are therefore closely related to others in the Collection, as for example the papers on travel in Ethopia (1966) complement the World Jewish Congress file for 1966 (Service IV. G), since in that year Muriel Berman was the WJC representative to the UNICEF Board Meeting in Addis Ababa. Similarly the papers on the Bermans= visit to Tahiti in 1964 are related to the Gauguin material in the Art Correspondence (Series I.D).

SERIES V. B Personal & Family Memorabilia
An extensive file of Marine Corps papers (1942-1947) documents primarily Philip Berman's years of active duty as a Marine Gunner, December 1942 to September 1945. Based in San Diego, California, Philip Berman served more than 15 months overseas, returning November 30, 1944. For photographs of him in this period, see Series VI.
Folders 14-20 in Box 191 contain a file of widely diverse memorabilia which have been arranged
in chronological order but otherwise kept as received, with nothing removed or added. These items appear to have been collected into this file by Philip Berman himself, and include a copy of his birth certificate, a copy of his high school graduation program, correspondence (1966) and other papers concerning his serving as a delegate to the UN Economic and Social Council, a copy of a telegram from Hubert Humphrey (May 7, 1968), a photograph of Muriel Berman (1969) with Francoise Gilot and Paloma Picasso, a letter (April 24, 1979) from the Vatican Secretariat of State, and numerous newspaper and magazine articles. Folders 29-31 in Box 191 and Folders 1-4 in Box 192 also contain an undisturbed collection of clippings saved by Philip Berman.
The memorabilia of Muriel Berman also include a file, Folders 10-12 in Box 192, collected by her and kept as received except for arrangement in chronological order. This file includes some photographs, apparently of the1950's.
For further photographs of Philip Berman, Muriel Berman, and their family members, see Series VI.
The Mallin family file, Folders 13-15 in Box 193, concerns primarily a piece of real estate in Israel inherited jointly by Muriel Berman and her brother from their father Solomon Mallin and subsequently given to The Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
