Shendishov itself
The town, court, people, institutions, cemetery, documents, projects and events.
חדר המחקר · Research room
Rebuild the town from sources, one connected record at a time.
The research center joins family-controlled material, Shendishov publications, photographs, maps, civil records and outside databases. It preserves questions and contradictions instead of turning a late summary into false certainty.

די שטאט אויף דער מאפע
The 1849 cadastral map is a working surface.
Gesher Galicia identifies a large synagogue and other communal buildings close to the town square. The finished map layer will connect verified parcels to houses, families, institutions and later photographs—while keeping guesses visibly separate.
