ArcheoBiblioBase: Archives in Russia: H-148Last update of repository: 26 August 2019Memorial'nyi dom-muzei akademika S.P. Koroleva—Filial Memorial'nogo muzeia kosmonavtikiHoldings documents—3,288 units; photographs—211 The museum holds documents connected with the life, work, and public activity of Sergei Pavlovich Korolev (1906–1966), who was a full member of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR (from 1958) and chief designer of the Soviet rocket program. The earliest documents in the museum archive are dated 1936. These relate to the testing of the experimental glider, RP-318-1, and include official documents, protocols, and other materials. There is also a brief survey of work done on winged missiles. In April 1970 the Scientific Production Group “Energiia” (Nauchno-proizvodstvennoe ob"edinenie “Energiia”) transferred documents (280 units) to the museum relating to Korolev's work during the war. This was for the most part scientific and technological documentation for the years 1940–1946–technical drawings, sketches, and other graphic material, as well as research reports compiled by Korolev himself. Another batch of material consists of documents collected by Korolev for scientific purposes (selections from scientific periodicals, bulletins, abstracts, and notes). These relate to the period when he was the chief designer of rocket systems. The museum also holds documents pertaining to Korolev's public life. The museum has xerox copies of part of the documentation relating to Korolev's work from 1946 to 1966, which were received from the Scientific Production Group “Energiia,” the government agency where the originals are held. There are photographs of S.P. Korolev and his family and a documentary film entitled “Academician S.P. Korolev,” which was produced for the museum by the Central Studio for Documentary Films (Tsentrnauchfil'm). N.B. Documentation and personal papers resulting from the scientific work of S.P. Korolev during the years 1927–1936, were donated after his death (at the request of his wife, N.I. Koroleva) to the archive of the N.E. Zhukovskii Scientific-Memorial Museum (Nauchno-memorial'nyi muzei N.E. Zhukovskogo) (H–150). Part of the documentation was also transferred to the Archive of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR (now ARAN–E-1) on instructions from the State Commission for Studying the Documentary Heritage of Academician Korolev. |
