content: This series contains Mintz's research on the Hasidim in New York. This includes his early research in the 1960s on Hasidic oral tradition as well as his later research on social change within the Hasidic community. Materials in this series include transcripts of interviews, Hasidic tales, bibliographic source materials, reading notes, correspondence regarding his publications on the Hasidim, papers that he presented, and Jewish Studies conference materials.

As part of his analysis of the relationship between Hasidic tales and the daily lives of the Hasidim, Mintz administered TAT drawings depicting major themes from the stories to his informants. Their responses are restricted.
