- Scope and content:
- This fonds comprises the records and registers of the gymnasium for girls of Carei from 1923 to 1948. They include records of the meetings of the pedagogic council of the gymnasium, records of school inspections, correspondence with superior authorities and statistical data. The registers and catalogues include for each student their name, birth date and birth place, their religious affiliation and mother tongue, the name, residence and profession of their parents and their results in school subjects. Most of the students were Hungarian, Romanian and German, but Jews are also well represented, as there had been a considerable Jewish community in Carei since the 18th century. It became a victim of the Holocaust, being deported to Auschwitz in May-June 1944.
- Archival history:
- The fonds was originally held by the Humanistic High School of Carei and was transferred to the Satu Mare County division of the Romanian National Archives in 1975, where it was inventoried and made available to researchers..
- Administrative/biographical history:
- The gymnasium in Carei was established before the First World War and originally functioned under a single direction, with separate sections for boys and girls. On 1 December 1922 it was reorganised according to the Romanian educational system as a gymnasium for girls with separate Romanian and Hungarian sections. From the academic year of 1927-28 only the Romanian section continued to function until autumn 1940, when the school archive, library and teaching material were evacuated to Orăştie in Southern Transylvania. In Carei the Hungarian educational system, with Hungarian as the language of instruction, was reintroduced from 1940 to 1944. On 1 October 1945 the school was reopened in the framework of the Romanian school system, functioning until 1946 again as a gymnasium for girls and from 1 September 1946 as a theoretical high school for girls until 1948, when the Communist reform of education abolished separate schooling for girls.
