Scope and content:: This large collection contains documents maintained by the Câmpulung Moldovenesc town hall from the late 19th century until the 1950s. As Jews made up a significant portion of the town’s residents, a large part of the material refers to or deals with Jewish matters, though not always explicitly. Contents include folders for building or event permits, documents related to the city’s artisans, material related to property expropriated during World War II, lists of those eligible to vote and many other items. For details, see the entry for this collection at http://jbat.lbi.org/, subfield ‘contains’, and click on any title (over 15 individual folder descriptions).

Archival history:: The collection was maintained by the town hall until it was acquired by the National Archives during the communist period.
