The materials in the collection were originally arranged by Ezekiel Lifschutz (ca. 1950), who also created a pertinent finding aid in Yiddish. In 2007-2008 the finding aid was translated into English by Chava Lapin and edited by Rivka Schiller.    

The collection is comprised of three 5” archival boxes. The majority of the materials are in Yiddish and Hebrew, although several other languages including Russian, Lithuanian, Polish, and French are also represented in the collection.

The collection was formerly part of Record Group 3, from which it was extracted to form a separate record group (RG 58). In this new arrangement, folder numbers remain unchanged, because this Record Group, like other record groups from the YIVO Archives in Vilna, was a segment of a larger block of materials, which were originally arranged as one continuous collection. Thus, the folders in the newly formed collection, Record Group 58, are numbered from 2311 to 2350A.
