- Archival history:
- The fonds was in the custody of the "Andrei Mureşanu" high school in Bistriţa. It was transferred in 1982 to the Romanian National Archives, Directorate of Bistriţa-Năsăud County.
- Administrative/biographical history:
- In 1918 the former Greek Catholic primary school from Bistriţa became a state primary school and its building was taken over as state property. The first director of the state primary school was Romul Densuşeanu, who was followed after his retirement by Iosif Costea. In 1934 it was split into two different state primary schools, one of which was named after Dr. C. Anghelescu, bearing the name of the former Secretary of Education, author of the law concerning state and private education from the interwar period. Between 1940 and 1944 the schools were integrated into the Hungarian school system, using both Romanian and Hungarian language. After the Second World War the schools were unified and run in the Romanian language, receiving the name "Andrei Mureşanu" until the Communist reform of the educational system in 1948.
