- Archival history:
- The records were incorporated into the archives of the Jewish Museum in Prague during the Second World War as part of shipments of material from Jewish religious communities that had been disbanded.
- Administrative/biographical history:
- A large Jewish settlement in Koloděje nad Lužnicí is documented from the mid-17th century. A Jewish religious community was probably in existence at that time. Its statutes were officially approved in 1872. The community was disbanded by the Nazis during the Second World War and did not subsequently resume its activities.
