Dana COSTIN, Evoluţia instituţiei şi ştiinţei arhivistice româneşti în timpul directoratului lui Aurelian Sacerdoţeanu (1938-1953) / The State Archives and the Evolution of Romanian Archival Science during the Directorship of Aurelian Sacerdoţeanu (1938-1953)

Abstract

The article explores the role played by Aurelian Sacerdoţeanu in the organization, management, and modernization of the State Archives. It also shows how these processes triggered the consolidation of archival science in Romania. First, I analyze the administrative activity of Aurelian Sacerdoţeanu at the helm of the State Archives. Second, I address his scientific work and the contributions he made to Romanian archival science. The historical period under consideration (1938-1953) was marked by major political and social changes. Thus, the study of Sacerdoţeanu’s administrative and academic work offers valuable insight on the broader transformation of the historical field during these turbulent years.

Keywords: Aurelian Sacerdoţeanu, State Archives, archival science, modernization, Institute for Archival Science.
