Romania: Address and Telephone Directories

Telephone Directories

Lista abonaților telefonici din provincie. 1959. Library of Congress General Collections.

The following list of Romanian directories represents Library of Congress holdings as of March 2022 and is arranged alphabetically by city, region or county, and then by year.

All of these directories include both business and private numbers.

In the 1950s instead of counties the Romanian People's Republic was organized into regions and raions. To help users not familiar with those regions we list the main cities that belonged to each region for which we have a telephone book. Where cities had different names in the past, such as when Brașov was called Stalin, or when Onești was called Gheorghe Gheorghiu-Dej, we list the current names as well, in parentheses.

So far 10 telephone directories have been digitized by the Library of Congress and are available through the links provided in the list below.

The uncataloged directories for Romania featured in this guide are located on Deck 5S of the closed stacks in the Adams Building, so readers must request the items in the Main Reading Room by completing a call slip, or asking a reference librarian in the European Reading Room. For more information about requesting items at the Library, please see the Using the Library of Congress section in this guide.

If you would like us to retrieve directories for you before your visit, you can contact us through our Ask a Librarian service.

Freely Available Online Directories

Besides using printed telephone directories, a reader may find it helpful to use current online directories available for free on the Internet. Please note however, that currently Romania does not provide information on private persons in either online or printed directories.
