Summary/Abstract: Teodor Bălan (1985-1972) needs no introduction. Although his name and activity are always repeated through different studies, articles, books, each time the words used by the authors leave a completely different imprint on our memory. Teodor Bălan thought and worked in the "domain of Bucovina" until the last moment of his life, without interruption, with a faithful passion. His devotion to this corner of Romania, Bucovina, led him to somehow forget the bitterness of everyday life, in the service of a noble cause, that of leaving us archival, historical bibliophile "values", as a legacy. The major fields in which Teodor Bălan carried out his activity, archival and history, were "the map of his soul". Archiving and history, two instances of the "Bălan phenomenon" transpose us into representations of a reality that today turns out to be a scientific one. The library of the "Ștefan cel Mare" University in Suceava houses the donation of Professor Teodor Bălan, where there are also books with autograph dedication addressed to the Bucovinian erudite.
