Working with documents on personnel in the National Archive of the Sakha Republic (Yakutia)

Abstract

The most important source for the historical sciences are primary sources: documents stored in archives. In Yakutia, the main part of the archival funds of the Sakha Republic (Yakutia) is kept in the National Archive of the Sakha Republic (Yakutia), hereinafter, the NA SR (Y). One of the main parts of the entire information system of archives are documents, including documents on the personnel of the Sakha Republic (Yakutia). The purpose of this article was to study the organization of the system of reference tools for documents on personnel in the NA SR (Y). The relevance of the topic lies in the fact that at the moment the documents on personnel submitted to the archive, basically, do not have a scholarly reference apparatus (SRA), which complicates the work of not only the employees of the archive themselves, but also researchers. The creation of an SRA for the archival funds of documents on personnel will not only improve the quality of the activities of archival institutions, but will also allow interested persons to actively use these documents in their activities. Research objectives: to study of archival funds of documents on personnel; replenishment of the scholarly and reference apparatus; compilation of a reference book on the information and location of documents on the personnel of organizations of the republic.
