- Scope and content:
- This fonds contains lists of Jews living in the Pardubice domain at the end of the 18th century, the community's statutes including amendments (1874, 1977, 1896, 1936), meeting minutes, election records, personnel records, a list of war refugees (1914–1918), construction records (including for the construction of a synagogue), burial society records, and draft texts on the history of the Jews in Pardubice. The burial society registers, particularly grave records, were kept until 1942. The fonds also includes files from the Pardubice Arbeitsamt (labour office) with records of work assignments for Jews: a card index (1941–1942) and files (1940–1945).
- Archival history:
- The documents were brought to the Jewish Museum as a part of the wartime shipment of artefacts and documents from Jewish Religious Communities liquidated during the WWII.
- Administrative/biographical history:
- Jewish settlement in Pardubice is documented in the 16th century. Jews were expelled from the town in 1662. A Jewish community was founded there in 1859. It was re-established after the Second World War, but soon became a synagogue congregation (part of the Jewish Religious Community of Prague). The congregation was disbanded in the 1980s.
