Locations, 1945 populations, depopulation dates and village maps for 1948 localities come from Palestine Open Maps, which links each place to Zochrot, Palestine Remembered, Salman Abu Sitta's Atlas of Palestine 1948 and PalQuest. Displacement methods follow Benny Morris and Walid Khalidi where known. Post-1948 entries cite UN OCHA, UN OHCHR, B'Tselem, Human Rights Watch, Adalah and others. Every record lists its own sources.
