JRI-POLAND: POLISH STATE ARCHIVES PROJECT

Indices for previously unavailable records

The goal of the Jewish Records Indexing-Poland milestone agreement with the Polish State Archives is to index all Jewish vital records more than 100 years old in the Polish State Archives that are not included in the microfilm collection of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the Mormons). Copies of these records are available from the Polish State Archives.

The first towns to be indexed in the Katowice archives project are Będzin and Sosnowiec Indexing of other towns cannot start until an Archive Coordinator has been appointed. If you would like to volunteer for the Archive Coordinator responsibility, you are invited to contact JRI-Poland Executive Director, Stanley Diamond at SMSDiamond@aol.com.

See the Project Status page for the current fundraising status of the Będzin and Sosnowiec projects in the Katowice archives project.

Note: in general, as the fundraising target is reached for each town, the data is processed and the indices will become available on-line.
