In honor of International Archives Day 2012 on June 9th and the virtual exhibition by the Israeli Igud [organization] of Archives and Information http://www.facebook.com/israelgenealogy?ref=tn_tnmn#!/israrchivist , IGRA has uploaded nine new databases to its BETA search engine. All the databases deal with Eretz Israel spanning the period from 1908-1945.
We wish to thank three archives for their cooperation in making some of these databases available to the public: the Haifa Municipal Archive, the Petah Tikva Historical Archive and the Aviezer Yellin Archives of Jewish Education in Israel and the Diaspora. The databases for Safed span the period from 1433-2003. For the present, the databases can be searched in English only. The family and given names in the Hebrew databases have been transliterated from Hebrew to English.
The databases are:
