Întreaga cantitate a fost structurată în funcţie de specificul documentelor după cum urmează: registre de stare civilă ordonate alfabetic în funcţie de localităţile la care fac referire (181 la număr), în cadrul acestora pe confesiuni, iar în cadrul fiecărei confesiuni cronologic. Registrele sunt scrise în limbile: germană, maghiară, latină, română ( cu alfabet chirilic şi latin) şi aparţin confesiunilor ortodoxă, evanghelică, mozaică, reformată, greco - catolică, romano - catolică ( botezaţi, căsătoriţi, morţi). Registrele cuprinse în colecţie au fost întocmite la început de către parohii, prin preoţii locali sub forma matricolelor confesionale, cu scopul de a inregistra evenimentele considerate fundamentale în viaţa comunităţii respectiv: ( botezul, căsătoria, moartea) şi probabil de control administrativ- religios al acestora. De la 1 octombrie 1895 s-au introdus (în baza unei legi din 18 decembrie 1894) în Transilvania registrele de stare civilă a căror completarea cădea în sarcina funcţionarilor publici şi nu a preoţilor. Printr-o modificare a legii în 1904 s-a stabilit ca la nivel de comună sediul notarului să coincidă cu sediul Oficiului Cercual de Stare civilă, notarilor conferindu-li-seSJAN atribu Sibiuţii în domeniul stării civile. Prevederile acestea au rămas în vigoare şi după 1918 până la adoptarea Legii pentru unificarea şi organizarea actelor de stare civilă.

  • More Than Churches an Approach to Develop Strategies for the Economical Future of the Villages of Transylvania
    More than churches An approach to develop strategies for the economical future of the villages of Transylvania Lukas Valentin Flandorfer 01126310 Kleines Entwerfen Schönberg 2018S More than churches An approach to develop strategies for the economical future of th villages of Transylvania Lukas Valentin Flandorfer Vienna University of Technology, Department of Architecture [email protected] Keywords: agriculture, traditional farming, economy, fortifed church, landscape, wildlife 1. Preamble When I started thinking about the project, Romania, Transylvania and the Saxon villages I had the idea that food could be the key to boost tourism, economy and living standard in the villages. It should be a program or a programmatic intervention which connects all the villages in some way. I thought all these villages are probably very similar to each other and only covering the area with one big idea would attract enough people to achieve a good performance. But after all the experiences I had in the region, in the villages, with the people and the more I thought about them, my conclusion shifted from accentuating the similiarites to developing the differencies. Maybe the villages are similar, but the strategic focus should switch from the similiarites (fortified churches) to differencies, which do not even have to be very distinct already. There are so many possibilities originating from cultural traditions, landscape, handcrafts and so on. The goal has to be to create a network of possibilities, generated from the uniQueness of each single village while avoiding separation. Also I want to note that this possibilities do not have to focus on tourism exclusively, but rather be strategies to strengthen the economy and quality of life in the villages.
