Talk:Jewish Museum in Prague

It is astonishing that so major a museum had lacked a page until now. The page needs a great deal of work, but sources are copious.Historicist (talk) 16:55, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

It might be useful to mention the following articles, all by Edward David Luft and all having appeared in Avotaynu: The International Review of Jewish Genealogy, Teaneck, New Jersey, in any revision of the article because the citations are relevant to the Museum. The English-language Museum website is http://www.jewishmuseum.cz/en/info/visit/

1. ‘The Complete Catalogue of the Jewish Communities of Bohemia and Moravia, excluding that of Prague,’” Volume VII, Number 3, Fall 1991, pp. 20-21. The article is more than a mere book review, discussing the history of why the records were collected in one place and information on how to use the resource and discussing equivalent research in the Slovak archives.

2. “Jewish Genealogical Research in Czechoslovakia,” Volume IV, Number 1, Winter 1988, pp. 3-6. The Gemeindelexikon der im Reichsräte Vertretenen Königreiche und Länder, Vienna, 1903-1908, 14 volumes, HA1175.A25, Microform No. 39529, cited in the article, is available online at . The Luft article is available online in full-text at https://archive.org/stream/georgevlada_05_reel05/georgevlada_05_reel05_djvu.txt

3. “Genealogical Research in Czechoslovakia:  An Update,” Volume VI, Number 3, Fall 1990, pp. 8-10.

4. “On-Site Jewish Genealogical Research in the Czech and Slovak Republics,” Volume XII, Number 3, Fall 1996, pp. 15-16.Mr. Posen (talk) 19:49, 16 June 2015 (UTC)

Perhaps the following additional articles by the same author in the same publication should be added [taken from https://sites.google.com/site/edwarddavidluftbibliography/home/edward-david-luft-bibliography}

5. “Cites Sources of German, Austrian and Czech Holocaust Victims,” Volume XIX, Number 4, Winter 2003, p. 79.

6. "Online 18th- and Early 19th-Century Bohemian Jewish Censuses," Vol. XXXI, No. 4, Winter 2015, pp. 51-52.

It should also be noted that many Czech Jewish references are also posted at www.GenTeam.at/. See the references to that website in Luft's publications.

1. “A Web Site with Databases for the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Nuremberg, Bavaria,” East European Genealogist, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada:  East European Genealogical Society, Volume 19, No. 4, Summer 2011, pp. 7-14. Review of www.genteam.at/, containing numerous databases of interest to genealogical researchers of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and continuing to grow. See a list of databases added after the article went to press, Gen Dobry!, Volume XII, No. 11, 30 November 2011, pp. 3-7, http://www.polishroots.org/LinkClick.aspx?fileticket=9FXcUrw4QQA%3d&tabid=60&mid=377/.

2. “New Databases Added to the GenTeam.at Website And Eisenstadt Gravestones,”, Vol. XXXIV, No.1, Spring 2018, pp. 7-8. Some additional databases have been added since the publication of the article. Mr. Posen (talk) 16:21, 20 July 2018 (UTC)
