Short History of
BIHAREA JOURNAL
“Biharea” is one of the three yearbooks of the Țării Crișurilor Museum in Oradea, founded by Prof. Sever Dumitrașcu, Ph.D. In its evolution the magazine has known three distinct stages: 1973-1982, 1984-1989 and after 1990. In the first period “Biharea” was a yearbook in which were published works of specialists from the country, as well as those from the ethnography and art sections of the Oradea museum. Between 1983 and 1990, as the Țării Crișurilor Museum was forced to have only one yearbook, “Biharea” would appear as an extract of the Crisia Journal (except in the first year, 1983, when it did not appear at all). Since 1991 things have returned to normal, to their natural state, “Biharea” becoming a publication in its own right, with a wide intellectual scope, open to contributors from home and abroad.
The declared aim of the journal is to publish the results of ethnographic and artistic research, through studies and material relating primarily to the north west- part of Romania but also to other cultural areas of our country. The materials in the journal are arranged in relatively balanced sections.
