Lesson on the establishment of the «Zonal State Archive in Rechitsa» within the framework of the «Young Archivist» project

On October 25, 2023, as part of the republican action «Archives to School» and the pilot project «Young Archivist», employees of the Rechitsa State Archives met with ninth-graders of the State Educational Institution «Secondary School No.7 of Rechitsa».

In order to create an idea of the work and profession of an archivist, a theoretical lesson was held in the class on the topic «Repairing documents with mica paper». There, students learned how work is carried out to rescue and ensure the safety of archival documents from physical wear and tear.

In the second part of the lesson, the children were told about the founder of the archive – the outstanding Rechitsa artist, ceramist and sculptor Evgeniy Shetikhin, and were shown his personal documents and art albums.
