Summary/Abstract: The Collective Archive of the Transylvanian Reformed Church’s diocese of Marosvásárhely is situated at the upper level of the Teleki-House (Bernády Street 3, Marosvásárhely) since 1961, when it was moved there. In the collection of the archive there are more than 170 linear meters of documents from the years between 1567 and 1987, preserved in proper conditions. The archive contains mostly documents and records of local deaneries (ex. Maros, Görgény, Bekecsalja and Ludas), parishes and other major institutions of the Reformed Church. The documents can be studied with the help of typed and manuscript versions of the archive guide. The archive conducts a massive document saving and preserving project, but it is open for researchers and historians at a defined period of time. The editing of the inventory guidebook of the archive is in progress. Since 2003, the archivist of the Collective Archive of the Transylvanian Reformed Church’s diocese of Marosvásárhely is Árpád-Róbert Berekméri.
