Submitted by Гость (not verified) on Fri, 05/23/2025 - 16:38The relevance of the topic is determined by the socio- cultural significance of charitable activities. Lack of comprehensive and concrete historical research on the donation of books to the Tomsk City Public Library (TCPL), with the exception of fragmentary references to the names of donors, has conditioned the scientific novelty of the article . The purpose of the work is to analyze book donations as one of the sources of acquisition to the collections of this library. TCPL annual reports for the pre-revolutionary period compile the source base of the study.
