Dear Fellow Polish Researchers:
On September 26, 2006, Dr. Slawomir Radon, the former Director
of the Polish State Archives in Krakow was appointed as General
Director of the entire Polish State Archive (PSA) system.
On November 9, 2006, Jewish Records Indexing - Poland was
notified of the unilateral termination of two Agreements that had
previously been concluded with the PSA and signed by
Dr. Radon's predecessor.
Effective November 30, 2006, after more than nine years of
cooperation, Director Radon has chosen to terminate the
Indexing Project that covered the indexing of all Jewish records
not previously microfilmed by the LDS Church that are in the
possession of the PSA and are more than 100 years old.
Effective November 17, 2006, after more than three years of
operation, the JRI-Poland online ordering system has been
terminated. The online ordering system handled orders for all
records indexed under the Indexing Project.
It is with great disappointment that we must report these decisions
concerning this aspect of JRI-Poland's widespread activity. The
JRI-Poland Board is taking every step possible to address this
situation. We will continue to provide service to the Polish Jewish
Genealogical community. The online database will continue to
operate providing a finding aid and tool for researchers to identify
records of interest.
If you have a question on the status of any Archive indexing
project, please send your messages to questions@....
Other JRI-Poland projects to index records from other sources,
including the LDS Microfilms of Polish Jewish records, will
continue.
If you have a question on the order processing system, please
contact Mark Halpern, Order Processing Coordinator, at
willie46@.... Mark will soon have a follow-up
announcement explaining how to order records in the JRI-Poland
database that were not microfilmed by the LDS Church.
Up until the end of the month, JRI-Poland will continue to index
records from some Archives and Branches. Along with our
existing backlog of new data, researchers will continue to see
additions to the JRI-Poland database. JRI-Poland, in our normal
course of business, continues to explore and acquire new
sources of genealogical data to help you in your research.
On behalf of the Board of JRI-Poland
Stanley Diamond
Executive Director
