- Scope and content:
- This fonds comprises 61 registers of the high school "Kölcsey Ferenc" of Satu Mare from 1953 to 1963 for grades I to XI. The registers include for each student their name, birth date and birth place, religious affiliation, the name, residence and profession of their parents and their results in school subjects in every grade. As this was a Hungarian-language school, most of the students are Hungarians but there are also Jewish students, even if the number of Jewish community in Satu Mare was drastically reduced by the Holocaust and after the foundation of the State of Israel in 1948 by survivors making Aliyah.
- Archival history:
- The fonds was originally held by the National College “Ioan Slavici” in Satu Mare. It was transferred to the Satu Mare County division of the Romanian National Archives in 2004, where it was inventoried and made available to researchers.
- Administrative/biographical history:
- The high school "Kölcsey Ferenc" of Satu Mare continues the traditions of the Roman-Catholic and Calvinist institutions of education in Satu Mare which were abolished by the Communist reform of education of 1948. They were replaced by the Hungarian state high school which functioned under this name until 1957 when it was permitted to take the name of Ferenc Kölcsey, the famous Hungarian poet and author of the lyrics of the Hungarian anthem. In 1962, with the implementation of so-called National-Communism, the school was abolished and later transformed into a general school with eight grades, the high school grades being transferred to the Romanian high schools "Mihai Eminescu" and "Ioan Slavici”. In 1971 it was reopened as a Hungarian high school. After the fall of Communism in 1991 it became again the Hungarian-language high school "Ferenc Kölcsey", the most important educational institution of the Hungarian population in Satu Mare.
