The Library of Congress has digitized a historic, two-volume Romanian directory and made it available to the public at the Internet addresses below. The presentation is via "page-turner" display. (Note: these are "handles" or "permanent" URLs that have been established for these volumes.) Links to finding aids for both volumes appear below.

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.
 

Ardealul: Transilvania, Banat, Crisana, Maramures.
Covers digital image numbers 983-1912 [corresponding to original page numbers 1-896]. Images 983-1016 provide general information and statistics on Ardeal, in French, German and Romanian.
