This file contains bulletins, correspondence, reports, and orders exchanged between the Vama precinct and county and national officials. The contents cover a wide variety of matters relevant to the state in a time of war, including border security, investigation of alleged subversive and radical groups and individuals on both the left and right wing, matters of censorship, including religious and cultural censorship, and matters of citizenship and displaced persons. Daily business is also discussed. Since the region had a large Jewish population, matters affecting Jews both individually and collectively come up. Nevertheless, material specifically related to Jews, even within the material on the establishment, revocation, or renunciation of Romanian citizenship and regarding refugees from Bessarabia and Northern Bukovina, is relatively sparse.
The records were maintained by the respective institution until the communist period, during which they were acquired and processed by the National Archives at an unknown date.
