Please note that collections held by the National Archives of Ilfov are highly fragmented due to the fact that they were evacuated from inter-war Romanian territory coming under Soviet control at the end of World War II. The material was held by disparate branches of the national archives around the country until the post-communist period.
This collection is medium-sized, containing 34 items. Please note that title on the collection inventory reads both “Ocolul Agricol Cernăuți” and “Camera Agricola Cernăuți” but on the list of collections held at the Ilfov archives these are listed as separate items. In general, the files contain documents and correspondence on typical agrarian topics, such as planting of fields, communal pastures, farming equipment, payment charts of staff and so forth. There is, however, one folder entitled correspondence regarding the property of deported Jews and Germans (1942), another file of confidential correspondence, and one folder on the distribution of the Borgward estate (1943). Please note that time did not permit the surveying archivists to examine the contents of individual folders and thus no specific details can be given as to Jewish-related material, but in light of the significant Jewish population in the region and the relatively unknown nature of these holdings, almost all material originating in Bukovina is included in the present catalogue.
Please note that, at the time of the survey, inventory numbers were not in use at the Ilfov archives. The inventories of collections from northern Bukovina were arranged by (interwar) county in folders. Numbers were pasted onto the cover, but archival staff did not treat these as inventory numbers, nor were they used to locate the inventories. These numbers are, however, provided here, in case protocol changes in the future.
- Archival history:
- This material was most likely evacuated from Cernăuți during or shortly after World War II. It appears to have been initially processed and maintained by the Argeș branch of the National Archives. It was then transferred to the Ilfov branch of the National Archives in the course of measures to centralise documents from territories that are no longer part of Romania.
