On February 1, 2024, at a ceremonial meeting of the board of the Department of Archives and Records Management of the Ministry of Justice of the Republic of Belarus, Director of the Belarusian State Archive-Museum of Literature and Art (BSAMLA) E.A. Makarenko was presented with a certificate dated November 17, 2023 No. B-1880 on the state registration of the official heraldic symbol – the emblem of BSAMLA.

The emblem of the archive-museum is a blue circle, in the center of which there are images – symbols of literature and art: a sheet of paper with the letter «A», a book, a pen and a brush in a palette, theatrical masks (comedy and tragedy), a filmstrip and a score. Inside the circle there is a blue inscription: «Belarusian State Archive-Museum of Literature and Art.»

This symbol shows the specifics of the institution – the preservation of the national literary and artistic heritage; circle (optional) – unity, inviolability of the Belarusian cultural tradition in the past, present and future, the connection of ancestors, contemporaries and descendants.

The emblem is made in three colors: white (silver), blue (light blue) and ocher. White (silver) reflects the purity and innocence of Belarusian culture; blue – loyalty and love for the Motherland of Belarusian creators and archivists who preserve the national heritage; ocher is the dust of time, antiquity.
