On October 13, 2022, as part of the «Archives for Schools» campaign, an excursion was held at the State Archives of the Mogilev Region for students of the 11th grade of secondary school No. 19 in Mogilev

Head of the Department for the Scientific Use of Documents and Information O.V. Trotskaya, archivists of the 1st qualification category A.V. Petukhov and A.I. Shvyrev held an introductory conversation for the guests in the reading room.

The staff told the children about the history of the archive, its functions, and the composition of documents. The children were able to personally see important historical documents concerning the inhabitants of the Mogilev region, driven to work in Germany during the Second World War. Interest was aroused by recently published collections compiled on the basis of archival documents. During the conversation, students were able to ask all their questions.

Then the children visited the laboratory for digitizing documents, where they got acquainted with the process of scanning documents and the archive, where they could see how the safety of documents is ensured, and learned what archivists do for this.
