The database displays records gathered from around the world and makes them available with a few clicks. This saves time and money for people interested in viewing the records. Another great accomplishment of the database is to preserve Jewish History, as many of the monuments in the database are likely to deteriorate over time.
The database is available at some Public Libraries for example, the Library of Congress, the Center for Jewish History in NY City. There is a small fee for individuals to access the database, and searches are all free.
The records in this database are obtained by hired photographers who travel to distant locations and work for days or weeks to complete the job. The records also have to be indexed and edited. Some websites offer random records that individuals donate, but here we have an organized method of obtaining complete records forming a very large collection.
There is a complete list at the home page.
