About student practice

Since February 13, 2023, on the basis of the National Archives of the Republic of Belarus, the practice of 4th year students of the Translation Faculty of the Minsk State Linguistic University has been organized. For several years now, the archive’s publications department has traditionally been a training ground for linguistic interns. Students work with archival documents of fund 370 «General Commissariat of Belarus (GKB)». By studying documents and translating them from German, they thereby contribute to the preparation of collections dedicated to the events of the period of the Great Patriotic War.

Cooperation between the university and the National Archives within the framework of the concluded agreement, of course, has only positive aspects: archive employees are assisted in the preparation of documents, and students, in addition to acquiring professional experience, have a unique opportunity to touch the history of our country, get acquainted with the system of work of the archive, as well as with the composition of the documents in storage.
