This collection consists of general correspondence and paperwork regarding daily business, payroll, and staffing matters, as well a number of reports and statistics on crimes in the jurisdiction.

This collection consists of court dossiers pertaining to various civil cases, the vast majority involving inheritance, and a considerable amount relating to property cases, contracts, and the issuing or release of records and certificates. The property cases cover the broadest range of topics, ranging from cases concerning recognition or establishment of ownership, eviction, destruction or damage to the property, and the sale or surrender of property from one party to another. The contract cases typically involve the cancellation of or release from a contract, or various claims about breaches of contractual obligations. Owing to the considerable size of the Jewish population in the Câmpulung district, a substantial number of these cases involve Jewish individuals and companies or banks with Jewish owners. A number of the cases from the 1940s appear to relate to the seizing or redistribution of Jewish property around the time of the deportations. For example, in 1940 there is a notable spike in cases involving the striking of claims or of debts relating to properties, and in 1942 there are correspondence and documents relating to the redrawing of property books. 1943 features several property and financial cases involving the Centrul Național de Românizare București (National Center for Romanianization). Beginning in 1944 and 1945 there are a number of cases involving Jewish individuals seeking “recognition of ownership” of property. As the majority of these cases concern property, access is generally restricted. Special permission is required to view the majority of these cases.

Some materials also concern memorial efforts, including the erection of a monument to the murdered Jews of Zaharești and the planting of trees.

Although this collection contains two files of minutes from meetings of the Jewish community council of Rădăuți from the 1920s and 1930s, the bulk of the collection dates to the period after the liberation of the Transnistria camps and to the postwar period. As such, much of the collection consists of letters, inquiries, meeting minutes, documents, and other materials pertaining to the reestablishment and rebuilding of the community, as well as the provision of aid. Among the topics addressed by the materials in the collection are the repatriation of community members interned in Transnistria and provision of food, medical, and clothing assistance, sometimes in coordination with the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee. The rebuilding or reestablishment of community institutions and buildings is also covered. In some cases, new institutions are founded, such as a trade school for children who lost their parents in Transnistria and a home for the aged. There are also a large number of requests for civil and vital records (stare civilă) and for amendments and corrections to these records. The records also document day-to-day operations and functions of the community, including religious and cultural affairs, including holiday services at the synagogue and a summer camp for children.

Please note that at the time of this survey (2013), the collection was closed for microfilming and thus this description is based on an inventory and not consultation of the original documents.

The school was founded as the Griechisch-orthodox kaiserlich-königliches Gymnasium by order of the Ministry of Education in Vienna in 1860. The language of instruction was German until 1882, at which point a Romanian section was established in parallel to the German-language sections. In 1919, the school was renamed Liceul de băeți “Ștefan cel Mare” ("Ștefan cel Mare Boys Lycee"). Throughout its history, the school maintained a reputation as one of the best in Bukovina and attracted students from the entire Bukovina region and beyond. The collection contains matriculation registers, administrative correspondence, administrative and faculty meeting minutes, and various papers pertaining to budget and finances. Matriculation registers from the period of the Habsburg regime are arranged by class, and then alphabetically by student's surname within each class. As can be seen from the entries for the students, the student population was quite mixed and included Germans, Jews, Romanians, Ruthenians, Armenians, and many of the other nationalities present in the Bukovina region at the time. For some classes there are multiple sections, including in some cases special “German” or “Romanian” sections. Each page contains an entry for a single student, and lists the students coursework and grades, as well as comments on the student's conduct and other observations. The entry also lists the student's religion, residence, nationality, and native language, as well as the name, residence, and profession of the student's father (sometimes of the mother as well), and if applicable the name of any guardians or of the address where the student resides and boards while attending the school. At the start of each class's entries are general statistics on the class's performance for that year, as well as a list of instructors, including instructors for religion sections (Roman Catholic, Orthodox, and Jewish).

The Medias Jewish Community Collection contains material spanning the life of the community, with documents dating from the late 19th century until the end of the communist era as well as general administrative paperwork into the 1990s (when the community, for all intents and purposes, no longer existed). The bulk of the material is from the mid-20th century (1940s-1970s) and of administrative or financial nature. Several extensive items of particular historic significance have been digitized and are available below in Series III: the 500-page book of meeting minutes covering board member and community meetings from 1930-1947 (Box OS21); hundreds of registration forms created by the Jewish Council (Centrala Evreilor) during the war which recorded an individual's family background up to the grandparents (names, birthplaces and date) (Box OS18 and OS19); the burial registry with details on tombstone location, date (and sometimes cause) of death and accompanying index of names (OS13); and the cemetery map (last item in Series III). The original statutes of the community, in Hungarian from 1894, as well as later German and Romanian versions, are also digitized and can be found in Series V (SD2/folder 2). The material in this collection may be of interest to those researching Jewish life, identity, and culture in southern Transylvania before and during World War II and Jewish life under the Romanian communist government. For additional details on the contents of each series, please see the comprehensive container list below. The collection is arranged by series and chronologically within each series.
