In 1867, the Hungarians gained greater autonomy and the territory of Slovakia. The Austro-Hungarian Empire lasted until the end of WWI, when Czechoslovakia was formed from Bohemia, Moravia, Sloavkia, and parts of Silesia. In 1993, Czechoslovakia divided into Czechia and the Slovak Republic.<ref>"Czech and Slovak Republics: Jewish Family History Research Guide".

Although the microfilming is not complete (Bratislava, the last archive, is currently being filmed), most of the films are now available through the FamilySearch Library.
