Charts of the names of people from whom citizenship was revoked are included. This file is miscatalogued by the Suceava Archives as 1937, in fact the contents are from 1938. Similarly, it is catalogued without specifying the localitaty, but the contents regard Ciocănești.
There are police files for almost each year in which can be found documents pertaining to the monitoring of "foreigners." The contents of these files will vary from year to year but documents frequently refer to Jewish individuals, either because they did not assume Romanian citizenship (and thus are considered Austrian), they were visiting or they lost their Romanian citizenship.
This collection consists of files created or maintained by the police authorities in Câmpulung Moldovenesc from the 1920s to the 1940s. In light of the significant Jewish population of the town, many or even most files may contain papers related in some way to Jewish residents. There are, for example, charts of artisans and shop-keepers; requests from organizations (Jewish cultural, religious, political groups) for permission to organize cultural events from dances to meetings to elections and so forth; files on suspected persons (including war-time refugees); files dealing with the revoking of Romanian citizenship from Jews; files from the Austro-Hungarian period with military conscript information; files dealing with forced labor or deportation to Transnistria during World War II.
