One of the great technical achievements that revolutionized the idea of time and space, opening a new era in the history of communication, is telegraphy. It is based on the transmission of electrical signals through a cable over long distances, allowing people to communicate instantly. The telegraph spread very quickly and a network of wires stretched around the world.
In 1837, the American painter and physicist Samuel Morse invented the first electromagnetic device for telegraphy, patented in 1840. To send messages by wire, Morse developed in 1838 a simple code of dots and dashes, which represented the letters of the alphabet, known as "Morse code ".
Both Morse code and the telegraph machine were improved over time, with the telegraph becoming the most widespread system of communication and information transmission for more than a century, until the advent of the Internet. The telegraph system consisted of a series of stations repeaters along the transmission line route. Each station had an operator who received and transmitted messages by telegraph. The Morse machine transmitted about 25 words per minute, which were recorded in code on a paper tape. The operator in charge of transmitting the message would decode it and write it on paper using a special typewriter.
In Bessarabia, the telegraph entered in 1860: on April 8, the Bender telegraph station began its activity, and on April 24, the one in Chisinau, following the construction of the first Odesa-Chisinau-Leova telegraph line. Currently, telegraph services have been discontinued. The only ones who still use coded communication are radio amateurs.
The Morse telegraph machine shown comes from the Osinoostrovsky electrotechnical plant, Soviet Union, and dates back to 1934. The exhibit was restored by Mihail Culașco.

Tyragetia, serie nouă, vol. III [XVIII], nr. 2, Istorie. Muzeologie
The aim of the paper is to determine the chronology of Morozeni village from Orhei district and the borders within it appeared and developed. Because of the lack of direct documents, the author used for the purpose of the research the genealogical history of Danciu-Durac family, which are considered to be the founders of villages Isacova and Morozeni according to the document from 9th December 1725. That occurred as a result of the marriage between Danciu (1572-1574), the pîrcălab of Orhei, with Buna, the daughter of Roman Morozanu, the owner of the estate of Morozeni contemporary village. The marriage of Danciu’s daughter, Marica, with the Stahor Durac, the pîrcălab of Orhei (1589), resulted in the creation of the lineage Morozanu-Danciu-Durac. According to the documents from 22nd May 1604 and 3rd March 1805 the families Morozanu and Durac had appeared in Orhei district with a beneficence document from the times of Ştefan cel Mare. It indicates that Morozeni village had appeared in that period as well (1457-1504), between the villages: Cula, Răut – N-W-N; v. Rublinca – E; rv Vatici – S; v. Dișcova – W and preserved, with a few changes, the same borders until the present.
