Summary/Abstract: In this study, we aim to present three documents that elaborate on the contribution of Ioan Dimitrie Suciu regarding the reorganisation of the „Luceafarul” review and the establishment of the Astra Bănăţeană printing house. The three documents published here show us the troubles of an intellectual elite that wanted to solve some of the cultural issues that the Banat region was suffering at that time. Regarding the contribution of Ioan Dimitrie Suciu, his role was a significant one, where he benefited a number of advantages as an active member of the review and printing house. First, as a student, he had the opportunity to meet more experienced other members who gave him advice or supported and encouraged him in his historical research. Another benefit was his direct correspondence with the President of Astra, Sabin Evuţian, or with the experienced historian Traian Toplicenu. Related to his activity from the journal, even though the number of his studies were not so numerous, his collabortion was paid, and also the editing of the Literature from Banat synthesis, brought him a wide recognition in intellectual circles in the province and capital, his work being widely appreciated even by Nicolae Iorga.
