Apart from documentation and photo-documentation, the archives include two data bases - of victims of the Holocaust from the whole territory of former Yugoslavia, and the Jewish registry books of Belgrade. Having in its possession this kind of archives implies that the Jewish Historical Museum has an ongoing and very dynamic cooperation with numerous researchers of different professional profiles, nationally and internationally.
