X-No-archive: yes
IGRA has just released new databases on its website. All of this
month's databases are entirely devoted to Tel Aviv as IGRA has
recently formalized its relationship with the Tel Aviv Municipal
Archives. We look forward now to building more databases with
materials from the Tel Aviv Municipal Archives.

Voters List Tel Aviv Local Council Election 1922 -- Over 5,000 voters
Most of the voters listed include the following information: family
name, given name, age and address. Only adults who payed taxes were
allowed to vote. Two abbreviations were used in the addresses. By
comparing a listing for the same people in the 1922 census, it was
deciphered that the abbreviation aleph means tent and zadek ayin means
hut.

Voters List Tel Aviv for the Second Assembly, National Election 1925
In 1925, over 21,000 voters were listed from Tel Aviv.

Voters List Tel Aviv Local Council Election 1926- Over 13,000 voters
The voters listed include the following information: family name and
given name. Only adults who payed taxes were allowed to vote.

Voters List Tel Aviv Local Council Election 1932- Over 16,000 voters
Most of the voters listed include the following information: family
name, given name, age and address. Only adults who payed taxes were
allowed to vote.

Beit Yaakov High School and Seminar, Tel Aviv, Jubilee Book 1936-1960
This book was published for the celebration of twenty five years of
Beit Yaakov High School and Seminar for Teachers and Kindergarten
Teachers. It includes a list of over 900 students.

Graduating Classes of Gymnasia Herzlia 1918-1948
Between 1918-1948, Gymnasia Herzlia had 31 graduating classes. There
were over 3,000 students who graduated during that time period. This
database is built from the list of graduates that appears in the book:
Gymnasia Herzlia, A Hundred Years published in 2004.
