Transylvania Treasures was an irregular publication that was released once or twice per year between 2008 and 2018. It was the vision of Dr. Charles Ambrose who wished to bring attention to Transylvania's amazing collections. The publication's aim was to highlight and bring attention to the unique and remarkable materials from Transylvania's Special Collections, the Moosnick Collection, and to occasionally include historic figures from Transylvania.
