Mihnea Berindei Collection at the A. D. Xenopol Institute of History in Iași

The Mihnea Berindei Collection stored at the library of the A.D. Xenopol Institute of History of the Romanian Academy in Iași comprises the founder’s personal library. It consists of two major parts. First, it includes almost two thousand books, of which over a hundred are directly relevant for the history of the communist regimes in Romania and the neighbouring countries. These publications also reflect Berindei’s interest in human rights issues in communist Eastern Europe and the USSR. Second, it features a substantial sample of periodicals (magazines and journals), mostly published in exile and dealing with Eastern and Central Europe during the communist era. Mihnea Berindei donated his library to the A.D. Xenopol Institute of History in Iași shortly before his death, in 2016. This collection is significant due to its focus on the publications and activities of the Romanian exile community in the West. It also emphasises its founder’s abiding interest in the history and political trajectories of the East European communist regimes.

米哈伊·贝尔德里收藏，存放在雅西A.D.谢诺波尔罗马尼亚科学院历史研究所图书馆，由创始人个人图书馆构成。该收藏分为两大主要部分。首先，其中包含近两千本书籍，其中超过一百本与罗马尼亚及其邻国的共产主义政权的史实直接相关。这些出版物亦反映了贝尔德里对共产主义东欧及苏联人权问题的关注。其次，它还包括了大量的期刊（杂志和期刊），主要出版于流亡时期，并涉及共产主义时代的东欧和中欧。米哈伊·贝尔德里在去世前不久，即2016年，将他的图书馆捐赠给了雅西A.D.谢诺波尔历史研究所。这一收藏因聚焦于罗马尼亚流亡社区的出版物和活动而具有重要意义。同时，它亦强调了其创始人对东欧共产主义政权的历史与政治轨迹的持久兴趣。
