5 September 2019

September 3, 2019, the Presidential Library hosted the 10th anniversary of the Naval Knowledge Day. The regional center of the Presidential Library of the Moscow Governorate Universal Library supported the tradition and organized a multimedia exhibition in the city of Pushkino on this topic.

The exposition is based on books. This is the latest edition of 2019 “Russian Navy. From Peter the Great to Nowadays” by Andrei Pospelov, and rare books from the Provincial Library's collection: “History of the Russian Fleet” by Konstantin Zhitkov, “Essay on Fleet Management Devices in Russia and Foreign Countries” by Alexander Witte, “A Brief History of the Russian Fleet” by Theodosius Veselago, and other publications of the late XIX - early XX century. Books are available through special QR codes. For visitors to the exhibition, the Pushkin Municipal Library has prepared a bibliographic list, including books from the institution's collections, which you can take home to read.

In addition to the "transparent screen" at the exhibition, there is a "VR-periscope", through which everyone can watch the Navy parade in St. Petersburg.

Excursions will begin on September 15. On September 4, the first in a series of methodological workshops was held on the basis of an exhibition for librarians of the Pushkin district. At the event, they talked about how exposure elements were created using the exhibition technologies of the world's leading museums, which are easy to recreate in the library on your own. The exhibition runs until the end of October.

On the website of the Presidential Library, Moscow Region is represented by a separate collection. A selection made up of official, statistical, topographic, cartographic and other materials spotlights certain aspects of life in the Moscow province from ancient times to the beginning of the 20th century. The mini-collection also includes the current Charter of Moscow Region.
