Most particularly there are books with dedicatory autographs, inscriptions and marginal notations made not only by prominent public figures, scientists, scholars and writers, but also by unknown persons. Many of these entries have historical importance in relation to the history of the book—for example, an entry recording the date of acquisition and price paid for a particular book. There are also copies of special numbered editions and publications that have been specially inscribed, presented, or hand-painted by artists. Working conditions: There is a special division reading room. Rare editions that are held under special conditions of storage may only be examined with the permission of the division head, but copies can be viewed on microfilm (website of reading room: https://www.rsl.ru/ru/4readers/rooms/mk). Reference facilities: The division holdings are included in the general and subject RGB catalogues with the special notation “MK” (Muzei knigi). There are also separate catalogues in the division itself—”alphabetical catalogues of Russian/Soviet and foreign publications and a thematic card catalogue of books with dedicatory autographs. There is also an electronic catalogue of autographed books. Databases: “Obshcherossiiskii svod knizhnykh pamiatnikov. Reestry ‘Edinichnye knizhnye pamiatniki’” (“All-Russian collection of book memorials. Registers ‘Single book memorials’”); “Svodnyi katalog izdanii XVI v. na zapadnoevropeiskikh iazykakh” (“Composite catalogue of publications of 16th century in West Europian languages”); “Svodnyi katalog tsel'nogravirovannykh knig (iz sobranii RGB, RNB)” “Composite catalogue of whole engraving books (from collections of RGB.

Photographic and videotape reproductions in the reading room may be produced only with the permission of the division head on the basis of an official letter from the reader’s sponsoring institution stating the purpose and intended use of the copies to be made. |
