The mission of the International Association of Jewish Genealogical Societies’ (IAJGS) International Jewish Cemetery Project is to catalogue every Jewish burial site throughout the world. Jewish cemetery or burial sites are listed by town or city, country, and geographic region, based on current locality designation. Information under each listing includes history, size, exact location, etc. Some listings include links to other websites with additional information such as burial lists or contact information. The project is ongoing.
