Рудно-петрографический музей (РПМ) Института геологии рудных месторождений, петрографии, минералогии и геохимии (ИГЕМ) РАН – единственный в России академический музей, располагающий системати- ческой коллекцией всех видов магматических горных пород. Фонды РПМ ИГЕМ РАН тесно связаны с профильными дисциплинами, развивающимися в ИГЕМ РАН. История коллекций РПМ ИГЕМ РАН и Минералогического музея им. А.Е. Ферсмана РАН, по-видимому, начинается с 1719 года, когда в Кикиных палатах Санкт-Петербурга была выставлена коллекция Кристофа Готвальда, приоб- ретенная для Кунсткамеры и дополненная образцами пород, руд и минералов российских месторождений. В 30-е годы XIX века на основе коллекций Кунсткамеры было создано семь самостоятельных академических музе- ев: Этнографический, Анатомический, Азиатский, Египетский, Зоологический, Ботанический, Минералогический. В 1898 году Минералогический музей был переименован в Геологический музей. 1 марта 1903 года Геологическому музею было присвоено наименование «Геологический музей имени Петра Великого». В 1908 году академиком В.И. Вернадским начала создаваться «Систематическая петрографическая коллекция Геологического музея имени Петра Великого Императорской Академии Наук», составляющая основной фонд со- временного Рудно-петрографического музея ИГЕМ РАН. В 1925 году произошло разделение Геологического и Минералогического музея имени Петра Великого на два му- зея: Геологический музей Петра Первого АН СССР (директор – академик Ф.Ю. Левинсон-Лессинг) и Минералоги- ческий музей Петра Первого АН СССР (директор – академик А.Е. Ферсман). В 1937 году, в связи с переводом Академии наук СССР в Москву, был образован Институт геологических наук (ИГН АН СССР), который разместился в здании современного ИГЕМ РАН. В ноябре 1955 года ИГН АН СССР был разделен на ИГЕМ АН СССР и Геологический институт (ГИН) АН СССР. Все коллекции и архивные документы Геологического музея имени Петра Великого (Петра Первого), входившего в состав ИГН АН СССР, перешли в ИГЕМ АН СССР и стали его научной основой. The Ore and Petrographic Museum (OPM) of the Institute of Geology of Ore Deposits, Petrography, Mineralogy and Geochemistry (IGEM) of the Russian Academy of Sciences, is the only academic museum in Russia possessing a taxonomic collection of all types of igneous rocks. The collections of OPM IGEM RAS are closely related with principal subjects developing at IGEM RAS. The history of the collections of OPM IGEM RAS and the Mineralogical museum (named after A.E. Fersman) of the Russian Academy of Sciences probably comes from 1719, with Christoph Gottwald’s collection, which was exhibited in Kikin Hall in St. Petersburg that had been purchased for Kunstkamera and supplemented with samples of rocks, ores and minerals from Russian deposits. In the 1830’s on the basis of Kunstkamera collections were established the following seven autonomous academic musems: the Ethnographical, Anatomical, Asian, Egyptian, Zoological, Botanical and Mineralogical museums. In 1898, the Mineralogical Museum was renamed into the Geological Museum. On March 1, 1903, the Geological Museum was named after Peter the Great. In 1908, academician V.I. Vernadsky began creating the «Taxonomic Petrographic Collection of the Geological Museum named after Peter the Great of the Imperial Academy of Sciences», which is currently the main collection of the modern Ore and Petrographic Museum of IGEM RAS. In 1925, the Geological and Mineralogical Museum named after Peter the Great was divided into two museums: the Geological Museum named after Peter the Great of the USSR Academy of Sciences (headed by academician F.Yu. Levinson-Lessing) and the Mineralogical Museum named after Peter the Great of the USSR Academy of Sciences (headed by academician A.E. Fersman).

Статья написана по материалам Рудно-Петрографического музея ИГЕМ РАН и Библиотеки Геологической литературы БЕН РАН в ИГЕМ РАН. В здании Института геологии рудных месторождений, петрографии, минералогии и гео- химии Российской академии наук (ИГЕМ РАН), помимо профильных научных и аналитических лабораторий, располагаются Библиотека геологической литературы (БГЛ) и Рудно-петрогра- фический музей (РПМ). БГЛ является единственной специализированной академической геологической библиотекой в Москве и содержит крупнейший в России фонд геологической литературы. БГЛ была факти- чески создана в 1880 г. как книжный фонд Минералогического музея Императорской АН в Санкт- Петербурге и дальше развивалась в тесной связи с его научной деятельностью. В 1938 г. би- блиотека получила название «Библиотека отделения геолого-географических наук». С 1973 г. и по настоящее время библиотека является научно-исследовательским отделом БЕН РАН с наименованием «Библиотека геологической литературы в ИГЕМ РАН». Рудно-петрографический музей (РПМ) ИГЕМ РАН располагает современной систематиче- ской коллекцией горных пород и большинства руд. История коллекций музея тесно связана с Санкт-Петербургской Кунсткамерой. Начало петрографической коллекции музея было поло- жено академиком В.И. Вернадским в 1908 г. Архивные материалы и коллекции РПМ, имеющие более чем 200-летнюю историю хранения, представляют несомненный научный интерес. Рудно-петрографический музей ИГЕМ РАН и Библиотека геологической литературы БЕН РАН развивают научные и гуманитарные связи с музеями и институтами геологического и естественно-научного профиля, в первую очередь с академическими учреждениями, имеющими с ними общие исторические корни. Apart from fi eld-oriented research and analytical laboratories, the building of the Institute of Geology of Ore Deposits, Petrography, Mineralogy, and Geochemistry of the Russian Academy of Sciences (IGEM RAS) also houses also the Library of Geological Literature (LGL) and Ore-Petrographic Museum (OPM). LGL is the only specialized academic library of geological literature in Moscow and owns Russia’s largest collection of geological literature. LGL was actually established in 1880 as a book fund of geological literature at the Mineralogical Museum of the Imperial Academy of Sciences in St. Petersburg and developed further hand in hand with its scientifi c activities. In 1938, the library received the name of “The Library of the Department of Geological and Geographical Sciences. Since 1973 up to present, the library is a research department of the Library of Natural Sciences of the Russian Academy of Sciences, and is referred to as The Library of Geological Literature at IGEM RAN (the Institute of Geology of Ore Deposits of the Russian Academy of Sciences). The Ore-Petrographic Museum (OPM) at IGEM RAN possesses types. The history of the museum collections is closely related to St. Petersburg’s Kuntskammer. The start of the petrographic museum collection was made by V.I. Vernadsky in 1908. Archive materials and collections of OPM, whose history of preservation stretching back over 200 years, are of undoubted academic interest. The Ore-Petrographic Museum at IGEM RAN and the Library of Geological Literature of BEN RAN extent scientifi c and humanitarian relations with a broad circle of museums and institutes specializing in the fi eld of geology and natural science, fi rst and foremost, with academic institutions, with which are connected through common historical roots.

Letters from Władysław Taczanowski to Alexander Strauch in the Russian Academy of Sciences Collections. An Interesting Contribution to the History of Zoology in the Nineteenth Century The article presents the Polish translation and analysis of the letters from Władysław Taczanowski (1819–1890) to Aleksander Strauch (1832–1893). The correspondence is stored in the Archive of the Russian Academy of Sciences in St. Petersburg and comprises 29 letters written between 1870 and 1889. The main theme of these letters is specimens of reptiles and amphibians sent to Warsaw by Polish naturalists, such as Benedykt Dybowski from Siberia, Konstanty Jelski from French Guiana and Peru, Jan Kalinowski from Korea, as well as specimens brought by Taczanowski from Algeria. Strauch determined the species and used them in his publications. This correspondence is also a valuable testimony of the exchange of specimens between the Warsaw Zoological Cabinet and the Zoological Museum of the Imperial Academy of Sciences in St. Petersburg. In return for herpetological specimens, the Warsaw collection received numerous fish specimens from the Russian Empire and a collection of birds from Mikołaj Przewalski’s expedition to Central Asia. The content of the letters allows a better understanding of the functioning of natural history museography but also the organization of shipments, preparation, determination, and exchange of specimens. They are a valuable document of the history of nineteenth-century scientific museography.

The article provides information on the report by I.S. Gurvich “New Data on Ethnography of Northern Yakutia”, stored in the Archive of the Russian Academy of Sciences, presented at a meeting of the Institute of Ethnography of the USSR Academy of Sciences on April 26, 1955. The report contains information about expeditions of the Institute of Language, Literature and History of the Yakut Branch of the USSR Academy of Sciences in 1953-1954. The expeditions aimed to study the composition of the population, life and culture of the peoples living in the basins of the Yana and Lower Lena rivers (Verkhoyansk, Ust-Yansky, Berizinsky, Zhigansky regions). As a result of a wide continuous ethnographic survey, it was possible not only to collect material for an ethnographic map of the northern regions of Yakutia and to further elaborate ethnic statistics for a number of regions, but also to identify areas of settlement of specific ethnic groups. The scientist managed to collect sufficient material to characterize the process of national consolidation, which was extremely intensive in the north of Yakutia. He noted that in reality the historical process in the North was still going on and had its own specificity, and "the task of Soviet historians and ethnographers is to reveal the essence of these processes, since there is still no connected history of the peoples of the North".

Referring to a corpus of epistolary sources kept in the personal archival fund of academician V. I. Vernadsky in the Archive of the Russian Academy of Sciences (correspondence sent to him from Crimea) and documents from the St Petersburg branch of the RAS Archive and the Department of Written Sources of the State Historical Museum, the author restores some aspects of the daily life of Crimean local history of the 1920s–1930s. Vernadsky’s attention to people and events on the peninsula are connected with a dramatic period of his biography, i.e. his unexpected tenure as rector of the University of Taurida (October 1920 — January 1921). Thanks to the participation of the university in the activities of the Taurida Scientific Association, the academician formed a social circle of scientists from different fields of knowledge in Crimea. The analysis of Vernadsky’s correspondence helps define his range of interests related to Crimean affairs after his departure from Crimea. Vernadsky, not indifferent to the fate of Taurida University (M. V. Frunze Pedagogical Institute) (during the years in question described as Crimean University), was interested in the fate of the prominent professors who he worked with at the university in 1920. Thanks to the Crimean correspondence of A. I. Markevich, the leader of the local history movement, the author has been able to clarify the fate of individual manuscripts by V. I. and G. V. Vernadsky and the history of transfer of funds of the pioneers of comprehensive exploration of the peninsula P. I. Köppen and H. H. Steven to the Archives of the USSR Academy of Sciences. The epistolary heritage of geologists P. A. Dvoichenko and S. P. Popova, Vernadsky’s former colleagues at Taurida University, makes it possible to recreate the pages of the research of the natural productive forces of Crimea carried out in those years. In his correspondence with professors E. V. Petukhov and N. L. Ernst, Vernadsky discussed individual issues that worried scientists.

In the context of the active development of information and communication technologies and a changing society in the XXI century, it becomes relevant to comprehend the experience accumulated by the scientific libraries of the Russian Academy of Sciences, which have experienced serious organizational and structural transformations that affect the formation of their ideological and resource base, the construction of adequate models for the organization, preservation, use and promotion of their resources.  The article objective is to present the history of forming scientific institution libraries in Siberia and the Far East, emerging and developing the library system of a department of the USSR Academy of Sciences – the Siberian Branch of the USSR Academy of Sciences – Russian Academy of Sciences (SB USSR AS and SB RAS) in 1920–2020 to determine further trends in their activities. To carry out the work, the author used such techniques as statistic, system and factor analysis, modeling, forecasting. The main tasks of the library system of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (as well as other libraries of RAS) were to provide information for scientists and specialists of research institutions and preserve the historical, cultural and scientific heritage of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Disintegration of the network connections, the model destruction of centralizing the library community of the Russian Academy of Sciences, which has occurred recent years, required the development of new models of interaction between libraries and adjustments of their functions in the scientific and information space of the region. The authors represents reasoning about the trends in the further development of the libraries of RAS, SB RAS and SPSTL SB RAS as the central library of the system.

On the basis of a wide range of sources, the research analyzes the history of the study of permafrost in the territory of the European Northeast of Russia in the first half of the 20th century. The documentary sources revealed in the Archive of the Russian Academy of Sciences (Moscow), the National Archive of the Komi Republic (Syktyvkar), the Scientific Archive of the Komi Science Center of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (Syktyvkar), the Vorkuta Museum and Exhibition Center (Vorkuta) are introduced into the scientific use for the first time. The 1920s became the period of the birth of a new scientific direction – permafrostology. This science gave an impetus to the systematic study and development of the North and the Arctic. The beginning of systematic geocryologic studies was connected with the development of the European Northeast in the 1920s–1930s. It has been determined that the USSR Academy of Sciences played the leading role in carrying out these studies: it organized special scientific expeditions for studying the cryolithozone of this region. The main results of the studies and their motives interconnected with the government’s interests in the development of valuable northern mineral resources are shown. The results of the expeditions were conclusions about the possibility of constructing large industrial facilities in the regions of the explored reserves of natural raw material resources. Following scientists’ recommendation, the industrial development of the Pechora coal basin and the colonization of the polar region began. The climatic and natural features of the region demanded stationary scientific research in the field of design and construction. The Vorkuta Research Permafrost Station (VRPS) (1936–1958), created under the supervision of the USSR Academy of Sciences, began to carry out this research. Today, the history of this station’s activities is poorly studied. The article presents the main directions of VRPS research: engineering permafrostology and general issues of permafrost studies. The staff of the station were researchers of the Committee on Permafrost Studies of the USSR Academy of Sciences and scientists from among prisoners of GULAG. The role of the staff who made a great contribution to permafrost studies is shown. Under the leadership of the scientists of the station, on the basis of their techniques, large industrial structures of Vorkuta District and Vorkuta, among them the first railroad in the conditions of permafrost, were designed. The conclusion is drawn on the leading role of scientists of the USSR Academy of Sciences in carrying out studies of permafrost soil in the European Northeast in the first half of the 20th century which became the basis in the successful solution of construction problems in the Arctic territory.
