Republican subbotnik in archival institutions
Cleanup work is a good tradition, which will celebrate its 105th anniversary in 2024!
On April 20, 2024, employees of the Department of Archives and Records Management of the Ministry of Justice of the Republic of Belarus, republican archival institutions and the editorial office of the magazine «Archives and Records Management» actively worked on the republican cleanup day.

Employees of the National Historical Archive of Belarus, the Belarusian State Archive of Film, Photo and Sound Documents, the National Historical Archive of Belarus in Grodno, and the Central Laboratory for the Preservation of Documents completed a significant amount of work to improve the territory adjacent to the archival institutions. The archivists carried out work to bring the lawns into exemplary condition, remove the remains of last year’s foliage, trim the trees and shrubs, improve the flower beds with already blooming spring flowers, and paint the fences.
Workers of the National Archives of the Republic of Belarus were cleaning up Tikotskogo Street in the Pervomaisky district of the capital. Those working outdoors are provided with food and hot drinks.
