- Scope and content:
- The Historical Archive of the Municipality of Ioannina has kept the documentation produced by the activity of the Municipality from the year Ioannina was incorporated into the Greek state (1913) until the 1990s. It comprises at least two sections of archival materials, which provide information on the Jewish Community of Ioannina and the Jews of Ioannina as a whole. The first section is the Archive of Minutes from the City Council Meetings, with over 40 resolutions of the Municipality from 1913 until 1996 about providing aid to the Jewish Community of Ioannina and its instiutions, the Jewish cemetery of the city and other matters. The second section comprises three bound registries with information about the Municipality's population. The first two registries have the name Municipal roll and were compiled during the Interwar period (after 1924) and include details of births for members of the municipality born from the 19th century through the 1930s. The third roll has the title Roll of Deceased 1914-1923. It includes more information about those registered compared to the two previous ones, e.g. occupation and family status.
