This collection is for one of the three public elementary schools in Rădăuți. Though it is catalogued as a boys school, in the first years at least it was attended by both boys and girls. This school was primarily attended by Romanian children, but reflective of the diversity of the town, there were also German, Jewish, and Ukrainian pupils. For example in 1903 one first grade class consisted of 46 pupils of whom 23 were Romanian-Orthodox, 15 were Roman-Catholic, 3 were Greek-Catholic (Eastern Catholic), 2 were Protestant, and 3 were Jewish. Of these 25 claimed Romanian as their mother tongue, 20 German, and 1 Ruthenian (Ukrainian). In later years it appears that the school became more exclusively Romanian. The collection is fairly comprehensive with few gaps in the years or class register books.

This Romanian elementary school was founded in 1906. Originally it was attended primarily by Romanian children, but beginning in the 1920s, the German schools were closed and many Jewish children began attending this school as well. The class registers are quite comprehensive, it appears there are no gaps in years or classes. A cursory look at class registers from second grade classes in 1923 show approximately half the pupils being Jewish. Of particular interest is the register for grade II-B of 1922 which was organized as an exclusively Jewish class and is labeled as such (call number as cited plus Dosar 4/1922).

The collection contains 30 different registers for the Suceava trade school for boys including matriculation records, grade books, teachers record books, and receipts for diplomas received. Though the majority of the students at this school were Romanian, there were also many Jewish students and students of other Bukovina ethnic groups.

At the time of this letter Suceava had recently become part of the Austrian Empire. The priest requests the money to be ”German” money.

This entry is a collection of several single documents which are catalogued by the Suceava Archives separately. The documents refer in some way to agreements between the local authorities and tîrgoveții – literally market people – granting the latter land for houses, cemeteries, house of prayer, or space for their market. It seems likely that tîrgoveții was often a euphemism for Jews, especially in the early-mid 1700s. Other ethnic groups which also typically worked in the trade sector are generally specified, Armenian, etc. As time passes it becomes more common to find references to Jews specifically. Of particular interest are the last two documents discussing a legal case between Christian merchants who wanted to evict the Jew, Aron (elder of the community) from his house and allow a Christian shopkeeper to move in. The last document is the response of Aron to these proceedings. These documents have been transcribed from the original Cyrillic and are available in modern Romanian (copies).
