On February 2, 2023, as part of the «Archives for School» campaign, a lesson-excursion was held for students of the MOR-48 group of the educational institution «Gomel State College of Builders» on the basis of the institution «State Archive of Public Associations of the Gomel Region».

As part of this event, the archivists demonstrated a presentation about the archive, a reading room and ongoing exhibitions of archival documents and photographs.

The format of the event was chosen so that students have the opportunity not only to learn the history of the archive and see the variety of stored documents, but also to learn how to work with documents and how to use the experience of archivists in everyday life.

In conclusion, the children were given tours of the departments and the archives, where they showed how documents are stored, what serial numbers mean, and how one can navigate among such an abundance of information.
