Jewish Communities and Records (JCR-UK) is a joint project between JGSGB and JewishGen to record genealogical and historical information concerning the Jewish communities of the United Kingdom. The site is now being developed and is planned to launch in the first quarter of 2003.

We are now ready to recruit members who would be prepared to participate in the JCR-UK project by either supplying data (genealogical & local Jewish community history): coordinating the supply of data by others: transcription or indexing:

If you are able to help please let us know the district or town or city or county or region that particularly interests you.

Data Coordinating would involve enlisting others in your area who would be prepared to find and collect data concerning:

• Local synagogues and their congregations with a potted history, contact details and photographs. Records from their registers of marriages and deaths
  
• Jewish museums and memorials - description, contact details and photographs
  
• Cemeteries - addresses and contact details. Records of those interred or details from the tombstones
  
• Anything else of Jewish interest. Photographs would also be appreciated.
