Version 2 with complete archive of FITS files available here: https://zenodo.org/record/5039467 Deep near-infrared J- and K-band photometry of three Local Group dwarf spheroidal galaxies: Fornax, Carina, and Sculptor, is made available for the community. Until now, these data have only been used by the Araucaria Project to determine distances using the tip of the red giant and RR Lyrae stars. Now, we present the entire data collection in a form of a database, consisting of accurate J- and K-band magnitudes, sky coordinates, ellipticity measurements, and timestamps of observations, complemented by stars' loci in their reference images. Depth of our photometry reaches about 22 mag at 5 sigma level, and is comparable to NIR surveys, like the UKIRT Infrared Deep Sky Survey (UKIDSS) or the VISTA Hemisphere Survey (VHS), and small overlap with VHS and no overlap with UKIDSS makes our database a unique source of quality photometry. Data release consists of: databases in a form of text files for Carina, Fornax and Sculptor galaxies (db_Car.txt, db_Forx.txt (unintended typo, should be db_For.txt), db_Scu.txt) completeness tables and plots for every field in Carina, Fornax and Sculptor galaxies (compl_Car.pdf, compl_Car.txt, compl_Scu.pdf, compl_Scu.txt, compl_For.pdf, compl_For.txt) explanatory file for each galaxy (info_Car.txt, info_Scu.txt, info_For.txt) incomplete set of FITS images of scientific quality of all analyzed fields in Carina, Fornax.
