With a centennial history, the Yearbook of the Institute of History in Cluj stands as the earliest Romanian academic journal in Transylvania, designed to publish the research outcomes of the newly founded Institute of National History established in 1920. Similar to the Institute, its periodical emerged as the principal medium for showcasing the scientific endeavours of its members and functioned as an educational and professional development institution for rising historians. An annual publication schedule was instituted from the beginning and was upheld to the greatest extent feasible due to the stringent criteria imposed by its principal editors: academicians and professors Ioan Lupaș, Alexandru Lapedatu, Constantin Daicoviciu, Ștefan Pascu, and Nicolae Edroiu. The content has frequently been disseminated in multiple international languages and has consistently featured abstracts in other languages.
