Lifetime and rare editions of works of great writers, researchers, public figures are of special cultural and historical value and enjoy the increased attention of the keepers of book collections and visitors of book museum exhibitions. The purpose of this article is to introduce into scientific circulation the rare copies of domestic and foreign editions of works of the historian and writer N. M.
One of the urgent problems of domestic librarianship is highlighted, namely, the composition and content of book monuments stored in regional centers. These include the Aldan-Maadyr National Museum of the Republic of Tyva, one of the subjects of the Siberian Federal District of the Russian Federation. In 2011 the rare book sector was created in the museum, which concentrates the book monuments. The purpose of the article is to analyze printed publications published in the Tuvan People’s Republic, and now are the part of the book monuments of the National Museum of the Republic.
Book collections of parish churches represent a special phenomenon of the Russian book culture. Despite of the fact that these collections were, as a rule, small and performed a purely liturgical function, their careful study expands our ideas about the culture and life of the Orthodox population, about the ways of distributing handwritten and printed books. This topic is of particular importance for the analysis of the ethno-confessional policy of the Russian state in the XVI–XVII centuries in the annexed territories of the Volga region, the Urals and Siberia.
