• Title: "I go to Boston, get education, then come back to New York and make lots of money," said 12 year old Joe Hajjar as he took the train for the Hub to meet his daddy, who was found for him by the A.R.C. Joe is the sturdy American youngster who for the last six years has been making his own way in Syria following the death from hunger in that war-stricken country of his mother, brother and baby sister. Joe watched all his loved one die and then tramped about the country, at various times being with the Turkish, German, English and American forces. He is thoroughly familiar with the drill regulations of all these armies, speaks six languages and has the composure of a Major-General. Born in New York City, Joe's parents moved to Boston where the father prospered. In 1914 Joe's mother took her two boys back to Syria to visit their grandfather. A baby girl was born a few days after her arrival at Beirut Joe finally landed in the A.R.C. orphanage near and through the Red Cross succeeded in getting in touch with his father in Boston. He arrived here on the Nieu Amsterdam a few days ago in the company of a Red Cross worker. "I kneel down and pray hard to God whenever I was lonely and hungry," is the way Joe explains how he withstood the hardships

Please use the following steps to determine whether you need to fill out a call slip in the Prints and Photographs Reading Room to view the original item(s). In some cases, a surrogate (substitute image) is available, often in the form of a digital image, a copy print, or microfilm.

1. Is the item digitized? (A thumbnail (small) image will be visible on the left.)

   • Yes, the item is digitized. Please use the digital image in preference to requesting the original. All images can be viewed at a large size when you are in any reading room at the Library of Congress. In some cases, only thumbnail (small) images are available when you are outside the Library of Congress because the item is rights restricted or has not been evaluated for rights restrictions.

     As a preservation measure, we generally do not serve an original item when a digital image is available. If you have a compelling reason to see the original, consult with a reference librarian. (Sometimes, the original is simply too fragile to serve. For example, glass and film photographic negatives are particularly subject to damage. They are also easier to see online where they are presented as positive images.)

   • No, the item is not digitized. Please go to #2.

2. Do the Access Advisory or Call Number fields above indicate that a non-digital surrogate exists, such as microfilm or copy prints?

   • Yes, another surrogate exists. Reference staff can direct you to this surrogate.

   • No, another surrogate does not exist. Please go to #3.

3. If you do not see a thumbnail image or a reference to another surrogate, please fill out a call slip in the Prints and Photographs Reading Room. In many cases, the originals can be served in a few minutes. Other materials require appointments for later the same day or in the future. Reference staff can advise you in both how to fill out a call slip and when the item can be served.

To contact Reference staff in the Prints and Photographs Reading Room, please use our Ask A Librarian service or call the reading room between 8:30 and 5:00 at 202-707-6394, and Press 3.
