The present study continues the series of studies dedicated to a spectacular house‑museum of the Romanian Academy, namely the Museum of Old Western Art Eng. Dumitru Furnică‑Minovici. In a file inthe Museum’s archive, the author recently discovered a series of interesting invoices issued by different merchants from Bucharest in the early 20th century. All addressed to some social institutions established and/or managed by the collector’s uncle, dr. Nicolae Minovici (Work Assistance Office for Beggars, Night Asylum), all talking about the social agreement concerning the marginal of the capital of that period. Unfortunately, the anticipated article by eng. D. Furnică‑Minovici was no longer drafted and published. Since these documents, due to their age, their importance in the social imaginary and, last but not least, their historical dimension,are an integral part of history, it is the task of the researcher to analyze, contextualize and publish these documents.
