Administraţia moldoveană la începutul perioadei regulamentare: funcţionarii Ministerului de Interne şi ai Comitetului Sănătăţii (1834)
Moldavian administration at the beginning of the organic statute period: civil servants of the Interior Ministry and of the Health Committee (1834)

Summary/Abstract: The peace of Adrianople and the adoption of the Organic Statute brought about some important changes in the governance of the Moldavian Principality. New institutions, employing a significant number of civil servants, emerged. Perhaps the most influential of them was the Interior Ministry, which controlled the country’s administration both at the central and local level. Closely linked to the Interior Ministry was the Health Committee, an institution coordinating the sanitary policies adopted in the Principality. At the same time, the authorities established new rules governing the status and behavior of the public servants, and their relation to the superior authorities. In 1834, the government began the evaluation of his employees according to the so-called service records, containing professional, but also personal data. The National Archives in Iaşi are preserving two files containing the service records of the civil servants in the Interior Ministry and the Health Committee for the year 1834 – possibly the most complete and systematic collections of such documents. These general registries allowed us to sketch a „group portrait” of the bureaucrats in the two institutions, comprising information about their age, countries of origin, education, marital status, property, employment or professional experience.
