In a European atmosphere conducive to revival of the boosting of the national conscience and advocating for rising the Romanian people through culture, in Sibiu, in November 1861, the Transylvanian Association for Romanian Literature and Culture of the Romanian People (ASTRA) was established based on the Constitutive Assembly’s decision.
An academic society, ASTRA militated from the very beginning against denationalisation and for the rights of the Romanians in Transylvania.
The most important mean for fulfilling the assumed role was maintaining the creative potential of the Romanian people, through knowledge and dissemination of the national-cultural patrimony.
“Therefore, the Romanian people’s intelligence managed to work on the most beautiful and life-giving field of literature and sciences and to restlessly seek not fantastic but real and honest means to enlighten, cultivate, enrich and bless the people.” (George Baritiu)
