One of the main tasks of the V. O. Sukhomlynskyi State Scientific and Educational Library of Ukraine is to provide users with access to exceptional documents on professional issues of great scientific, historical, and cultural significance. The rare publications collection (RP fund) stores books and brochures published before 1945, as well as periodicals from this period.<\/p>\n

Given the enormous socio-cultural importance and value of the collected editions and the need to enhance efforts to preserve and introduce them into scientific circulation, this fund has been granted the status of “scientific object of national heritage of Ukraine” according to the Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine No. 1709 dated December 19, 2001.<\/p>\n

The pearls of the collection can be considered the oldest editions: “Seneca’s Philosophy” (1615) and “The New Testament” (1714), printed in Latin; a photocopy of the 1609 edition of John Chrysostom’s “Selected Discourse on the Upbringing of Children”; M. V. Lomonosov’s “Brief Guide to Grammar” (1748); and lifetime editions of works and scientific papers by prominent educators such as M. Pirogov, K. Ushinsky, S. Rusova, T. Lubenets, psychologists V. Bekhterev, I. Sikorsky, V. Wagner, H. Chepanov, writers P. Kulish, V. Vynnychenko, O. Konysky, historians D. Bantysh-Kamensky, I. Ohienko, V. Shcherbina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The RP fund includes thematic collections such as “Pedagogy” and “Psychology,” and collections of “School Textbooks and Educational Aids,” and “Periodicals from 1807\u20131917.”<\/p>\n

To work with the RP fund, a sector of rare publications (RP sector) has been created within the department of scientific organization and storage of the fund. The main activities of the RP sector include scientific formation and organization of storage, usage, and preservation of the RP fund, creating an electronic database of rare publications stored in the library, and developing instructional and methodological materials for managing the RP fund.<\/p>\n

In 2010, the work on creating an electronic catalog of rare publications<\/strong> began. To date, the database contains more than 13,000 records.<\/p>\n

For user service of rare publications, electronic copies are created, allowing active use of documents in scientific research without causing physical damage. The library’s local network houses more than 1,500 full-text documents of pedagogical, psychological, and historical-cultural content, including 300 educational publications and over 1,000 documents in foreign languages. Additionally, steps have been taken toward electronic document delivery<\/a><\/strong> for remote users.<\/p>\n

The “Pedagogy” thematic collection unites documents on the history of pedagogy, pedagogical psychology, didactics, teaching methodology, social pedagogy, primary and secondary education pedagogy, professional and higher education, and school programs. The collection includes works by outstanding educators of the past such as J. A. Comenius, I. Pestalozzi, J.-J. Rousseau, J. Locke, F. Prokopovich, O. Dukhnovych, K. Ushinsky, M. Pirogov, M. Korf, S. Rusova, H. Vashchenko, V. Sukhomlynsky, and others.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
