The archivist at the Hungarian Jewish Museum and Archives, Zsuzsanna Toronyi published an article about the history of the archives in the 2007/3 issue of the Levéltári Szemle (Archives Gazetteer, the journal of the Hungarian Archivist Association).

When writing about recent history, her footnote #34 mentions a new book that shouldn't be overlooked: Magyaroszági zsidó anyakönyvek 1760-tól napjainkig (Jewish matricula in Hungary from 1760 to our days) by Kinga Frojimovics, published in Budapest, 2007.

There aren't too many references to it yet on the net. The best I can find is the What's news page of the Budapest ELTE university Dept. of Assyriology and Hebrew Studies. According, this work is #3 in the series Magyar zsidó levéltári repertórium (Guide to Hungarian jewish archival materials), also it's #21 in the series Hungarica Judaica. The publisher is the Center of Jewish Studies at the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. Number of pages: 692, ISBN 963-508-518-4. The previous work in the former series was the 1993 2 volumes by György Haraszti, the list of Jewish archival materials in Hungarian repositories.

The book can be purchased at the univ dept and probably from the Center of Jewish Studies of HAS, as well.

Kinga Frojimovics is not unknown to the Hungarian Jewish family historian. She is a former staff member of the Hungarian Jewish Archives, invited speaker at the IAJGS 2003 conference, and according to the Toronyi article Dr. Frojimovics is now the Director of the Hungarian Desk at Yad Vashem.

In her article Ms. Toronyi also makes mention of an online archival aid in progress. The archives develops a database of the 19th century personal legacies and bequests in their holdings. The (tentative?) address of the database would be this.

The TOC of issue 4 of 2007 of the Archives Gazetteer has that there is a review of yet another book of possible interest in the matter. The reviewed book is a Hungarian language guide to handling Hebrew archival materials (Segédlet a héber iratok kezeléséhez), authors are Gábor Dávid and Zsuzsanna Toronyi, Budapest, Hungarian Jewish Museum and Archives, 2006, 115 pages.
