Staff of the Imperial Hermitage. 1852-1917 In 2004 the State Hermitage Publishing House issued a bio-bibliographical reference work entitled Staff of the Imperial Hermitage. 1852-1917, which was prepared by G. I. Kachalina, V.F. Marshinkina and E.M. Yakovleva, researchers at the Archive of the State Museum. This is the first publication in the history of the Hermitage to provide complete and systematized biographical information about the employees of the imperial museum, from directors down to couriers. The period covered is the second half of the 19th and early 20th centuries. The 125 biographical sketches have been prepared drawing on personnel files stored in the Archive of the State Hermitage, with supplemental material coming from other archives and historical sources. Most of the articles contain a bibliographical section in which the main works by the given individual are indicated together with literature about his life and activity, relevant reference publications and archives. The foreword to this handbook provides fresh information about changes in the administrative structure of the museum and in its staff during the period 1852-1917. The publication has 76 portraits (sketches, engravings, photographs) of employees of the Imperial Hermitage which come from the Archive of the museum. |
