“NEW” SOURCES FOR RESEARCH AND CAPITALIZATION OF THE HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF BUCHAREST

Summary/Abstract: The University of Bucharest is one the oldest and one of the most important higher education institutions in Romania. It has prepared specialist for different domains of activities needed by the society and its evolution and modernization somehow mirrors that of the society. Before 1948, in the structure of the University of Bucharest there were functioning some faculties that may surprise others, because, nowadays, they represent higher education institutions on their own: Medicine, Pharmacy and Veterinary Medicine. Although now it is part of the University of Bucharest, the history of the Faculty of Theology may also have a similar effect, because it started in the second half of the 19th century. These all form a part of history of the University of Bucharestnot well known. It can be rediscovered employing old books and studies written by the professors of these faculties. They represent “new” sources, waiting to be rediscovered because they were published in the second half of 19th century and the first half of the next, but later they were not too much used, although they store information relevant for a number of different subjects. These sources are brought into attention of the public through the use of digital exhibitions, on the internet site of the Museum of the University of Bucharest. These exhibitions represent a first step to reevaluate this forgotten knowledge and histories of these faculties, and also to increase the level of the accessibility of the information.
