Summary/Abstract: The ‘First Secretaries’ of the Regional/County Committees of the Romanian Workers’ Party (RWP) and, starting with 1965 of the Romanian Communist Party (RCP) represented the summit of the party hierarchy at local level. Starting with this well delimited group of RWP/RCP members, I aim to discover the constant features present in the personnel dossiers. I consider that it is appropriate to study the types of documents present in these files, of their format and evolution and to see what was the importance of the biographical information in the decision process concerning the selection for a political and/or administrative position. I want to identify if there are common features between the members of the same generation and, more prominently, to what extent the weak points in a dossier matter in distinct historical periods or in specific moments of somebody’s career.
