- Archival history:
- The collection was in the custody of the county council of Bistriţa-Năsăud and the town hall in Dej. It was transferred partly in 1962 to the local branch of the State Archives in Bistriţa and then in 1981 to the Romanian National Archives, Directorate of Bistriţa-Năsăud County. It was inventoried in 2013.
- Administrative/biographical history:
- Bistriţa-Năsăud county was established in 1876 as composed of six districts, including Lechinţa. In 1886 the administration was reorganised into four districts and Lechinţa was abolished. The new Romanian administrative system reorganised the counties in 1925 and Lechinţa became a district of Năsăud county, with 30 component localities. Between 1940 and 1944 the Hungarian administration was re-established. A new administrative reform occurred in 1948 and Lechinţa district appeared among the six component districts of Bistriţa-Năsăud county, with 31 component localities.
