Contribution of A. Saveliev's personal fund to the development of regional history (on the materials of the State Archive of the Krasnoyarsk region)

The purpose of the study is to characterize archival materials from the personal fund of A.A. Savelyev, to assess the extent and prospects of their use. This fund, formed in the first half of the twentieth century, is in the State Archives of the Krasnoyarsk Region. Research characterises the materials from the personal fund of A.A. Savelyev and their contribution to the development of regional history. The information presented in the fund has a wide range of topics, but is rarely used by researchers in their works. We have systematized the documents of the fund according to the types of historical sources: statistical materials (items of collection No. 11, 15, 20); pictorial sources, among which there are mainly sketches of architecture (items of collection No. 4, 5, 6); photographic documents (item of collection No. 24); questionnaires of rural residents (old-timers, migrants) and the exile (items of collection No. 18, 22); personal diary of A.A. Savelyev, dated 1915 (item number 1). In addition, the personal collection contains archival materials of an undetermined subject, combined into file no. 26, as well as cases with documents that contain rough, unprocessed notes of a local historian (items of collection 17, 19). The analysis of archival materials showed that the manuscripts of the local historian are quite informative and contain information about the life, customs, problems and structure of agriculture and crafts, local legislation, vocabulary, folk art of the villagers of the Yenisei province of the Russian Empire. Personal sketches of the architecture of the populated areas of the region, photographs of residents, household items, recipes fortraditional dishes of Siberian cuisine are unique. The archive fund of the collected materials of A.A. Savelyev is also a source of information about the interpersonal relations of Siberians, the study of which has gained popularity in recent years in connection with the spread of the history of everyday life.
