Summary/Abstract: The aim of the present paper is to offer a glimpse of the public health system in Transylvania in 1900 and to identify the state medical staff in the provincial administration based on the data contained in the Transylvanian Health Database, a new digital tool dedicated to Transylvanian physicians in the past, currently under construction at the Centre for Population Studies of the “Babeș-Bolyai” University of Cluj-Napoca. In order to outline the framework in which these doctors worked, the study reviews the legislation in the field of public health. Health statistics in Hungary, provided by the Magyar Statisztikai Évkönyv, asses the situation of the public health system at county level in numerical values. The picture is completed by the nominal list of doctors who occupied the main posts in this system in Transylvania in 1900. The paper can also be seen as an introduction to the Transylvanian Health Database as a working tool for research in social history and medical history.
