Summary/Abstract: Familia [Family] magazine was issued between 1865–1906, initially in Budapest and since 1880 in Oradea. Longevity and the fact that it had an essential circulation in the entire space inhabited by Romanians made it one of the most important Romanian periodicals in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Romanian researchers also approached the magazine edited by Iosif Vulcan. The studies and volumes published focused mainly on literary approaches or on particular topics supported over time. The present research analyzed, in the first part, the educational component transmitted by Familia through several series of articles, such as: historical, dedicated to the feminist or cultural movement, popularization of new knowledge, technologies or sciences, the purpose of intellectuals in society, peasant life, travel descriptions, policy approaches, helpful advice, epidemiological situation and social behaviours. In the second part, we followed the informational aspects, mainly in the sections dedicated to the news, highlighting the mode of transmission and the evolution of their dissemination over time.The documentary base was represented by the articles published by the magazine and the specialized literature.
