Pawel Sygowski and Andrzej Trzcinski from the University of Lublin wrote an article called "Zydzi Lubaczowscy i ich cmentarz" ( The Jews of Lubaczow and their cemetery) where they concentrated on documenting the oldest gravestones in this cemetery.  This is one of the stones they documented.

The article was published in Rocznik Lubaczowski Tom VIII in 1998, a publication from Towarzystwo Milosnikow Ziemi Lubaczowskiej - an organization that publishes material about local history.
