A collection of roughly 2,000 files for insolvent debtors having Jewish sounding names is held on microfilm by the American Jewish Historical Society in New York City. The microfilm has been digitized and indexed by Ancestry.com. The Ancestry database is titled "AJHS Selected Insolvent Debtor's Cases, 1787-1861." Many of these files are found in Series J2000 as well as other insolvent debtor files now held by the New York City Municipal Archives.
The New York State Archives is part of the Office of Cultural Education, an office of the New York State Education Department.
