DIE HISTORIOGRAFISCHE BEDEUTUNG DER SCHULREGISTER DER SIEBENBÜRGISCHEN REFORMIERTEN SCHULEN IM ERSTEN WELTKRIEG

Abstract

One of the most important sources of social history research are school registers, which provide a detailed picture of the social background of pupils who attended the institution, even at a nominal level. In my paper, on the one hand, I present the historiographical significance of the register books of Transylvanian Reformed secondary schools, comparing them with the register books from secondary schools situated in Trianon-Hungary. On the other hand, in the light of the research that has so far been carried out using school registers, I identify further research directions using the registers of Transylvanian Reformed secondary schools.
