Summary/Abstract: Through this text we try to offer an image as eloquent as possible regarding the place and the role of the periodical “Arhiva” from Iaşi, which appeared in 1889 as a result of the efforts of the previously founded Scientific and Literary Society in Iaşi. The journal played a very important role in the intellectual life within the former Moldavian capital at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th. The valuable contributions to various scientific fields and the external connections established by the heads of the journal (especially A.D. Xenopol) made the periodical name quite well-known at national and international level. Therefore, also as a result of their efforts, “Arhiva” became, just like other Romanian periodicals of the time, a true bridge both between the Romanian intellectuals and the Romanian realities, as well as between the national plan and the universal one.
