- This collection contains minutes of meetings, reports, correspondence, speeches and other memos written by or about the Jewish Democratic Committee of Târnăveni. The committee had a wide range of responsibilities, surpassing basic political tasks. The reports and meetings record decisions about secular and religious holidays, the Jewish school, teachers, emigration matters, unresolved events (missing persons) from World War II, religious staff (butcher, teachers), cultural events, and general happenings in community life. There are surveys on the community, including data on community numbers, language, occupations and so forth. The collection may be of interest to those studying Jewish life in the immediate post-war period and especially those looking at questions of identity.

- The Jewish Democratic Committee (Comitetul Democrat Evreesc) was founded in 1945, alongside similar committees for Romania's other national minorities.
