The report «100-year history of the National Library of Belarus in the audiovisual documents of the BHAKFFD», presented to the audience by E.I. Tretiak, was dedicated to the anniversary of the main library of the country and its role in the life of the republic. Audiovisual documents from the archives, like a magic kaleidoscope of a virtual tour, illustrated the history of this important public institution of the country from the moment of its foundation to the present time. Photographic documents from the early 1930s, as well as the 1940s and 1950s, attracted the special interest of the employees of the National Library of Belarus who attended the conference. This interest may well become the basis for mutually beneficial cooperation and partnership between the two institutions.
