49. JDC Partners with
Israel Genealogy Research
Association (IGRA)
The JDC Archives is providing IGRA with the primary names from
each index record, which IGRA will translate from English to
Hebrew. IGRA will add these names to its database with a direct
link to the complete record and document in the JDC Names
Index. The Hebrew translations will be especially valuable for the
Operation Magic Carpet lists, as many Yemenite Jewish names
were spelled inconsistently in the original English-language lists.
This collaboration will help raise further
awareness of JDC’s archival resources in
Israel and throughout the world, increasing
both their discoverability and their
accessibility to diverse research
communities.
