Contains information about Polish national archive resources kept at state archives in Lublin and Poznań and their branches. Digital copies of some of archive materials from these and other archives are also available in the service. Additional scans will become available as the website develops.
Its primary purpose is to provide online descriptions of archival material from state archives and other cultural institutions. Selected archival descriptions are presented in parallel with the scans, the number of which is steadily growing. Using the service is free and does not require a log in.
*The Polish word used on this site to identify Jewish records is "mojżeszowe." For example, use that term to search all cataloged records at the site by clicking [http://www.szukajwarchiwach.pl/search?q=moj%C5%BCeszowe here]. At the time this Wiki entry was created, this search resulted in 3,422 catalog entries.

*If scans are not available then contact the archive that holds the records.
