V. Zhuravsky views on science popularization, it was a specialized professional agricultural library in the remote site near the Arctic Circle. Now it represents a unique complex of the early XX century spiritual culture in Komi region and maintains its uniqueness. The museum books reflect the development level of different branches in agricultural science and applied agricultural knowledge. The collection is not rare at the Russian scale, but it contains the books referred to rare editions in various libraries of the country, and one book can’t be exported from the Russian Federation.
