The Construction and Interpretation of a Dataset with the Teachers of the Beiuș High School (1828–1928)

Summary/Abstract: Based on the available sources on the teachers employed at the Beius High School between 1828 and 1928, a database-like dataset with information on their birth, families, education, teaching periods, previous, simultaneous, and subsequent occupations was developed. In order to efficiently manage the information on the teachers’ occupations, I assigned each occupation a code specific to the historical classification schemes, namely, hisco, hisclass, and hiscam. Employing the aforementioned tools, this study tracks the teachers’ localities of origin and the establishments in which they frequently studied, as well as other trends observed in the long term. The appeal of the Beius teaching occupation and the extent to which it was a long-term occupation or a mere gateway to other positions is also the subject of this study. Moreover, the phenomenon of priestly dynasties is examined. The article aims to answer to what extent priestly dynasties or certain inter- and intragenerational patterns of occupational change can be observed.
