• The Jewish Genealogical Society, Inc. (New York) website at http://www.jgsny.org has several resources of value to Kalush researchers:

• A listing of  918 landsmanshaftn in YIVO's archives, with Record Group (RG) numbers for easy access when you visit the Center for Jewish History in New York City. For YIVO's smaller collections, included in RG 123, the appropriate Box number is also provided. Use Edit/Find on your web browser to search for "Kalu" to find various spelling variations of the town name.

• A listing of 1487 organizations are listed in The Jewish Landsmanschaften of New York prepared by the Yiddish Writers' Guild of the Federal Writers' Project, Works Projects Administration, published by the I.L. Peretz Yiddish Writers' Group in 1938. This represents less than half of all landsmanschaften known to exist in New York. Not all of these societies have cemetery plots. Search as described above.

• More than 10,000 Jewish burial plots in the Greater New York City area owned by landsmanshaftn (home-town associations), synagogues, family circles, fraternal organizations and labor unions. Many of these are associated with Kalush.  It involves data from some 100 cemeteries. The search engine allows you to type in a town name based on its current spelling (i.e., try typing in "Kalu"). It displays the name of the plot (e.g., Kalusher Young Men's Benevolent Society), Cemetery name (Mt. Zion), and the exact location of the plot within the cemetery (Path 44 Right, Gate 17), and society type (landsmanshaft). At another JGSNY site there is a list of New York metropolitan area cemeteries so that you can travel to NYC and search for your ancestors' tombstones.
