ABSTRACT. Some Aspects Related to Geography in the Cluj University between 1940 and 1947. The study includes a series of information that came out from the research of the archives belonging to the Romanian National Archives in Bucharest, regarding the troublesome period when the Cluj School of Geography and its Institute took refuge in Sibiu and Timișoara, and then came back to Cluj. The paper approaches several aspects concerning the organization and framing of the School of Geography departments, promotions that took place during that time, but also purges made on political criteria, as well as the involvement of staff members of the Institute of Geography within the Cluj University in the national action to support the territorial integrity of Transylvania, by means of their scientific research and studies.
