Romanian directory
and made it

The Library of
Congress's copy of
Volume II, (Provincia)
is the edition
reprint dated
1924-1925, though,
like Volume I, it
most likely reflects
information compiled
around 1922-23. It
covers the rest of
Romania other than
Bucharest. Its
several sections
have separate
paginations, adding
up to over 2,200
pages. It begins
with Part IV,
Provinces of the Old
Kingdom. Part V
concerns The New
Roumanian Annexed
Provinces - Bucovina,
Transilvania, Banat,
Crisana, Maramures,
Basarabia. These
parts are arranged
by judet, then by
city or commune. It
lists organizations,
businesses,
directors, owners,
etc. It concludes
with indexes of the
villages and towns
listed in the
volume. The finding
aid for Volume II
provides further
detail.
