All the card catalogs were scanned and entered into a large database containing more than 500,000 records.
The card catalogs are divided as follows:
A card catalog of children from Germany - a card catalog ordered by name, of about 1,700 children who arrived at the beginning of the Youth Aliyah enterprise.
A card catalog of the Teheran children – containing 893 names of Jewish refugee children from Poland who came to Palestine via Teheran as companions of the Polish Anders Army in February 1942 after years of wandering across Poland and the USSR.
A Hebrew card catalog ordered by name, a non-Hebrew card catalog ordered by name and a card catalog of the Youth Aliyah institutions.
In addition, upon the closure of the Youth Aliyah offices in 1966, a computerized database was transferred to the Zionist Archives containing more than 170,000 names of members of the institutions of the Youth Aliyah during the years 1975 till the 2000s. This database contains personal data on the child in question, in addition to information on the dates on which he was admitted to, and left, the institution in which he studied.
