Order of the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation of May 3, 2011 N 429 "On approving the procedures for classifying documents as book monuments, registering book monuments, maintaining a register of book monuments"

Registration N 21606

This order comes into force 10 days after the day of its official publication.

The book is a great achievement human civilization and the whole world culture. She went the same long haul development, as well as man himself and human society. Over the centuries, it has changed its appearance, acquiring more and more perfect features: clay tablets, papyrus scrolls, huge folios with parchment sheets, finally, the familiar paper codex book for us, which in recent times, in the era of information technology, has been increasingly pushed out of everyday life audio and electronic publications.

However, no matter what look the book takes - a modestly published brochure or a luxuriously decorated edition - throughout history it has played an outstanding role in a person's life: it brought up, revealed the secrets of being, helped to fight ...People all over the world are aware of the great role of the book, dedicating numerous monuments to it in all corners of the globe.

But the book itself, as such, is a monument to the era and its achievements. The term "book monument" has become widespread since the mid-80s. XX century, when the question of the need to preserve a valuable book as a monument of culture and history began to be discussed more and more often. By the 1990s. the beginning of work on the "Regulations on book monuments of the Russian Federation" dates back to the beginning, according to which the work on the creation of the "Unified Fund of Book Monuments of the Russian Federation", "the Code of Book Monuments of the Russian Federation" and "Registers of Book Monuments of the Russian Federation" continues. The approval in science and practice of the term "book monument" made it possible to more accurately determine the place of the book among other remarkable monuments of history and culture - scientific, literary and artistic, architectural, visual, musical ...

Currently, the meaning of the term "book monument" is based on two meanings of the term "monument". Firstly, a monument is understood as a value category that embraces the results of human activity, to a high degree reflecting the culture and history of its era. Secondly, this word means a unique (one-of-a-kind) historical source, document. The first meaning refers to a greater extent to book monuments representing the publication as a whole (i.e. not unique, existing in circulation). The second - to unique book monuments - special copies of publications, the significance of which is formed not during the creation of a book, but in the process of its life in society.

The "book monuments" today include:

1) handwritten books, publications created on initial stages the development of the book (for a Russian book, these are all editions published up to 1830 inclusive);

2) publications of a later historical period, in which they receive a specific reflection (in the repertoire, textual preparation, editing, commenting, artistic design and printing performance) the most significant achievements of all areas social development, as well as events and periods of great historical significance.

Editions after 1830 are characterized as valuable books (book monuments) of the selective acquisition period. A number of criteria have been developed for their identification as monuments. Here are just some of the groups of publications published after 1830 and belonging to the category of "book monument":

· The first editions of the most important government documents.

· The first and lifetime editions of classical works of science and literature and their best reprints.

· First editions of documents representing important milestones history of science and literature (individual works, collective collections, creative programs, manifestos, archival documents).

· Books that are rare and valuable in appearance (for example, format, paper, title page design, material placement, illustrations, cover).

· Books with inscriptions and notes (for example, by the author's donations, signed by the authors on all copies of the circulation, notes by censors, editors and publishers, inscriptions of the book's owners, notes from readers).

In the language of legal documents regulating activities in relation to the book treasures of the Russian Federation, book monuments- these are “printed and manuscript monuments: individual books, newspapers, magazines, cartographic, musical and other publications, book and manuscript collections, possessing outstanding spiritual, aesthetic, printing or documenting merits, representing on a global or national scale, on a regional or local scale socially significant scientific, historical and cultural value and protected by special legislation. "

In accordance with Russian legislation, book monuments, like other types cultural heritage are subject to protection by the state.

Books (handwritten and printed) and other types of publications, as well as book collections with outstanding spiritual, aesthetic, printing or documenting properties, representing socially significant scientific, historical, cultural value and protected by special legislation, are called book monuments (GOST 7.87-2003) ... The term "book monument" is synonymous with the terms "rare book", "valuable book". It allows you to more accurately define the concept, put the book on a par with other types of monuments of history and culture.

Compared to other books, which are generally perceived only as neutral carriers of information, book monuments require a different approach to themselves. They represent the book as a cultural phenomenon that unites the published work and the way of its material embodiment. The book monument carries an important historical and cultural potential, is a reflection and book culture, and contemporary human history and culture in general. This determines the task of preserving book monuments as objects of cultural heritage.

In accordance with GOST 7.87-2003 “Book monuments. General Requirements "when identifying book monuments, chronological, socially holistic and quantitative criteria are applied.

The chronological criterion should be understood as the "age" of the book, determined by the length of the time interval between the date of creation of the book and the present time. To establish the upper date of the chronological criterion in the process of identifying a book monument, one should take into account the peculiarities of the history of the development of various fields of knowledge, as well as the specifics and history of book publishing in each specific industry and area. This principle is the simplest and most obvious. It defines the chronological line up to which all publications published in a certain territory can be classified as book monuments. For example, all publications up to 1830, inclusive, are classified as book monuments, regardless of the place of printing.

The socio-value criterion should be understood as the distinctive properties of a spiritual and material nature, the features of which, as a rule, are:

• stages characterizing the book as a document that adequately reflects the most important turning points of social development, as well as being their direct belonging and integral part;
• uniqueness that distinguishes the book as one of a kind, with individual characteristics that are of historical, cultural and scientific significance;
• priority characterizing the book as the first publication in time of works of classics of science and literature or the first edition (publication-book monument), which is of fundamental importance for the development of science and technology, including printing technology and book design, history and culture, public -political development (religion, philosophy, morality, etc.);
• memoriality, correlating the book with the life and work of outstanding personalities, statesmen, science and culture, with the work of scientific and creative teams as well as important historical events and memorable places;
• collectibility, indicating that the book belongs to a collection that has the properties of an important historical and cultural object.

In accordance with this criterion, book monuments include all publications, contemporary events and epochs of great historical significance and adequately reflecting them (for example, Great French revolution and the Paris Commune, the Great October Socialist Revolution and the first years Soviet power(1918-1926), the Great Patriotic War 1941-1945. and etc.). Book monuments include social democratic and Bolshevik publications before 1917, prohibited and illegal publications destroyed by the censorship and preserved in small quantities. Recently, these include books returned from special depositories.

The memorial principle includes among the book monuments publications related to the activities of people and entire scientific and creative groups (institutes, government agencies, clubs, publishing houses) that have played a recognized role in history, spiritual life, science, any areas of culture, for example, lifetime publications of prominent figures in science, culture and literature, as well as publications dedicated to the anniversaries of individuals, institutions, geographical objects, events, etc. .d.

The socio-value criterion refers to book monuments publications that bear the stamp of historical events or famous personalities... These can be books with autographs or marks, bookplates or super-bookplates, as well as books with an interesting history of existence, for example: publications that have preserved on their pages records and notes of local residents during their participation in the Civil or Great Patriotic War... In accordance with this criterion, the book monuments include collections collected by prominent state and military leaders, as well as scientists, culture, and art. The selection of documents based on the memorial principle makes it possible to recreate the history of a country as a whole or a separate region through a book.

It is impossible to adequately reflect history and culture without mass media publications. Examples of such publications are textbooks, ABC books, publications of the printing house of I.D. Sytin, many publishers of the second half of the 19th - early 20th centuries.

Difficult to apply is the principle of uniqueness, originality of the publication, part of the circulation, one or more copies. This takes into account the peculiarities of the publishing nature, for example: publishing on original materials or using rare printing techniques.

Publications are considered unique if they are hand-painted or have special publishing marks, as well as books of special sizes (for example, miniature) or small editions, etc. However, they can be book monuments only if these features turn the publication into a work of art, a monument of culture and art of printing. For example, if a book, the size of which does not exceed 10x10 cm, is made as reduced copies of books of the usual format, then it is not a book monument.

A small-circulation edition will only refer to a book monument if its rarity is associated with a historical or cultural significance content of the book, or took part in its preparation famous artist, or the document has any publishing features, handmade binding.

The signs of the quantitative criterion are the low prevalence (low circulation, limited access) and the rarity of the book, determined by the relatively small number of surviving copies. The quantitative criterion, as a rule, is not applied on its own, but increases the value of the book.

When identifying book monuments in the document fund of the library, you can use an approximate profile of acquisition of rare and valuable books, developed on the basis of documents adopted in the federal library centers of the country.

According to the degree of historical and cultural value, book monuments are divided into the following levels (categories):

• world,
• state (federal),
• regional,
• local (municipal).

World-class book monuments include book monuments that are of universal significance for the formation and development of human society as a whole or are outstanding creations of world culture.

Assigning the status of a world-class book monument to a document and registering it in the Lists world heritage carried out by the relevant decisions of the Committee for the World Cultural and natural heritage UNESCO.

Book monuments of the state (federal) level include book monuments that are of paramount importance for the knowledge and development of national science, history and culture. Among them:

• handwritten books in full for the 17th century. inclusive, from the XVIII century. - selectively;
• old printed editions in full up to 1850 inclusive, printed editions after 1850 - selectively;
• archival copies of the national press;
• book collections of federal importance.

Book monuments of the regional level include book monuments, the value of which is determined by their historical and cultural significance for the corresponding region and the peoples inhabiting it, including the territories of compact residence of certain ethnic groups. Among them:

• handwritten books from the 18th century - selectively;
• first printed editions in the languages ​​of the peoples inhabiting the region, published after 1850, other printed editions after 1850 - selectively;
• archival copies of local (constituent entities of the Russian Federation) press;
• book collections of regional importance.

The assignment of the status of a book monument of the federal or regional level to a document and its registration in the register of a country or region is carried out by special authorized bodies state power the appropriate level.

Book monuments of the local level include book monuments of particular value for a certain area (city, town, village, etc.). The assignment to a document of the status of a book monument of the local level (district, city, settlement) and its inclusion in the register of book monuments of the local level (district, city, settlement) is carried out by the authorized municipal authorities.
