Description The Central Zionist Archives – the official archives of the institutions of the Zionist Movement (the World Zionist Organization, the Jewish Agency, the Jewish National Fund, and the United Israel Appeal) and the numerous institutions that were established by, or alongside, these bodies – permanently preserves the files that were created during the activity of these institutions.

In addition, the Zionist Archives holds the files of the institutions of the Jewish population in Palestine before the establishment of the State (the Archives of the National Council, the Archives of the Palestine Jewish Colonization Association (PICA), the Archives of the Hadassah Medical Organization, etc.), of the offices of the World Jewish Congress in various countries, the remainder of the Archives of the Hovevei Zion and of some of the Zionist Federations around the world.

Language of registration of the record group names: Hebrew and English (See the Record Group Guide)

Language of registration of the files: The descriptions of most of the files in the various record groups are in Hebrew. However, if most of the original documents in the files of the record group are in English, the file descriptions are in English. Most of the file titles (about 80%) are in Hebrew.

Files
Every record group consists of files, sometimes a few files and other times, tens of thousands of files, according to the amount of the material produced by the organization, the institution, or the person who produced the material.

The files belonging to a certain record group are given a unique notation within the record group.
For example:
L18\4285
Z4\3393
A43\15
AK826\1

Special documents/items of various types in the files:
Sometimes, below the level of the heading or description of the file, special documents are indicated; those are either related to the general subject of the file or are exceptional items due to their type (a map, photograph, poster, etc.), their size or their content. These items are registered, given a notation and registered on a separate level, below the general description or heading of the file.

For example:
Documents: An exceptional document noted in a file is registered with the notation L18\4285-1t
If another document is noted in the file, it is registered with the notation L18\4285-2t, etc.

Map: A map noted in a file is registered with the notation L18\4285-1m.
