Provenance:
- "The Lodz ghetto administration [Judenrat] carefully kept a register that recorded all of the ghetto's inhabitants by street address. After liquidation of the ghetto, the residence register was held by the Lodz city government. In the late 1980s, microfilms of the register were purchased by OFRLI and deposited in the Yad Vashem Archives in Jerusalem. With resources provided by OFRLI, the Yad Vashem Archives created a computerized database of all the information."--Excerpt from AVOTAYNU article, v. xi, n. 1 (Spring 1995).
- Microfilm of the original documents from which the "Lodz Names" books and databases were drawn is held by the USHMM Archives in its collection titled "Przelozony Starszenstwa Zydow w Getcie Lodzkim Der Aelteste der Juden vom Litzmannstadt-getto = The eldest of the Jews in the Lodz ghetto, 1939-1944." (USHMM Archives RG-15.083M, reels 162-167). The U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum Archives received the filmed collection from the Polish States Archives in Lodz as File 1-21105, with subsequent accretions via the United States Holocaust Museum International Archives Project in June 2000, July 2001, Mar. 2003, and July 2003.
