Jewish Records at the Lviv Archive

This page contains only a partial list of holdings of Jewish records in the Lviv Historical Archive, and was collected by Alexander Dunai in 2001. According to Mr. Dunai,

    Below is the list of Jewish vital statistic records from the FOND 701, OPYS 1.
    The Archive also holds OPYSes 2,3,4, and 5, which are currently not available
    because they are in the process of changing. Generally, they contain financial
    documents of the Lviv Jewish Community, lists of the tax-payers, electors, etc.,
    and a cardfile of the Lviv Ghetto 1941-1942.

A more complete and up-to-date database of records for all Galician towns, including records held at other archives in Ukraine and in Poland, can be found on the Routes to Roots web site. The archives indexed on the Routes to Routes site include the Lviv Historical Archive, Krakow Archives,Przemysl Archives, Rzeszow Archives, Tarnow Archives, and Warsaw AGAD Archives, plus regional archives in Lviv, Ivano-Frankivsk (Stanislawow), Tarnopol, and others.
