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 contains only one item: a folder with the general budget of incoming and outgoing expenses for 1940-1941. 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. In contrast to many collections at the Ilfov archives, there is no indication as to where it was stored and processed (in 1980) prior to its transfer to the Ilfov branch of the National Archives. This transfer was implemented (2013?) in the course of measures to centralise documents from territories that are no longer part of Romania.
- Access, restrictions:
- The Ilfov archives are located on a military base and heightened security measures are in place. Visitors may be required to be accompanied by staff to and from the entrance.
