Summary/Abstract: Between 1960-1964, a descendant of priest I. Andreescu donated three photos to Paul Mihail, to rescue and preserve them. N. Iorga’s letter and an autograph copy from 1928 witness his permanent concern to support the Romanian students who studied in France and were hosted at Fontenay aux Roses. There are also suggestions of research topics addressed to Const. Andreescu, and recommendations on how to better organize his work. The two photos from M. Sadoveanu witness the Romanian author’s desire, in 1927, that his novel “Neamul Şoimăreştilor” be translated into French; while his advertisement to “friend Băieţel” concerns the appointment, in April 1932, as director of the University Library from Iaşi. The items are stored in the Paul Mihail Fund from the National Archives, Iaşi branch.
