Books are a living link between times. The pages contain the breath of the epoch: the voices of the ancestors, the first scientific investigations of the fate of the Orenburg Region.
The exhibits presented from the museum's collection of printed items are not just print artifacts. These are material evidences of how the Orenburg province was studied and described. Yellowed paper, faded ink, old spelling – all this makes the past tangible.
Visitors will get acquainted with unique copies of ancient books, feel the atmosphere of past eras and see with their own eyes the rarest editions. This is a church calendar, encased in a majestic wooden cover, and Mohammedan metric books containing civil registration documents for the Muslim population of Iletsk in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, written in Arabic letters in Tatar. Journals of the Orenburg Department of the Imperial Russian Geographical Society, the publications in which were strictly scientific in nature. These are minutes of meetings, expedition reports, and local history materials that contribute to the study of the Orenburg Region.
Here, in the Orenburg editions of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the dialogue of the epochs is concluded. What was once the cutting edge of science has now become the source and foundation for new knowledge.
The publication from the 1883 issue of the literary and political weekly about modern life "Niva" drew attention to one of the unique corners of the Orenburg province, Iletsk Protection, thanks to an expressive engraving based on photographs by the famous photographer Karl Fischer.
Each museum object is a dialogue with time, an invitation to reflect on the experience of its predecessors. Here, the past is not a dusty archive, but a living ground for modern ideas and future achievements.
