EDN: https://elibrary.ru/cltbxf
Abstract
The historical memory issues are still relevant after the eight decades since the end of the Great Patriotic War. The article is based on archival documents from the Russian State Archive of Economics (RGAE), Saint Petersburg Central State Archive (TsGA SPb), the State Archive of the Russian Federation (GA RF), National Library of Russia (RNB) Archive etc., government decrees, orders and telegrams, allowing to reflect objectively the activities of the Patent and Technical Library in the wartime. The library staff’s role in the rescue and conservation of patent documents collections as the most important scientific and technical information source in the blockade Leningrad, during the evacuation and re-evacuation, is shown. The relevance of the topic is determined by the significance of libraries’ role for modern society in preserving the country’s scientific and cultural heritage and in transmitting the Great Patriotic War historical memory.
