P. O. Box 242, Jefferson City, MO 65102-0242 “Our goal is to share the information and The Friends of the Missouri State Archives is a not-for-profit organization the excitement with researchers.” 1212Volum Volumee 10,13, NumberNumber 2 1 Newsletter of the Friends of the Missouri State Archives Fall Friend’s Profile: Kas Mahfood

Kathleen (Kas) Mahfood was raised in Jefferson City. She began making jewelry in her home over twenty-five years ago. Kas always loved the old German South Side of town, and in 1984, renovated a cottage on Dunklin Street, just off Broadway, in which her jewelry business flourished. In 2001 she historically renovated the third of her contiguous buildings - a large Victorian - which currently houses her full service fine jewelry shop. Kas’ original designs are featured, as well as a large selection of all types of jewelry. In addition to designing jewelry, Kas is a Graduate Gemologist.

Kas’ interest in the South Side led her to found the Old Munichburg Association in 2000. Members and friends of the Association have already accomplished a great deal and have plans for continued preservation and promotion of the unique area - which has been described as a city within a city. Several houses and a contiguous district, including two of Kas’ buildings, are now on the National Register of Historic Places.

Kas is very interested in working for and with the Friends of the Missouri State Archives, noting: “The records and pictures preserved by the Archives prove invaluable to an organization such as the Old Munichburg Association that is trying to bring back an historic neighborhood. I think the Archives is a great resource for anyone researching regional history or doing genealogical research. The staff is user friendly and offers assistance when needed. My experience has been such a positive one that I recommend to anyone wanting to preserve old photographs to give them to the Archives. So many important photographs are lost in families either through neglect or a failure to identify them. The Archives can preserve images for generations and make them accessible to the public.”
