Bibliographic Repertoire of Russian Books of 1826—1917: Sources and Ways of Formation

There are described the main results of the work on creation of the “Union catalogue of Russian books, 1826—1917” as bibliographic repertoire, which lasted from 1976 to 2003. By the end of the 1990-ies, the card database of “Union catalogue” was reconciled with the catalogues of all six libraries-participants. Bibliographers of the Russian State Library carried out the rework and editing of bibliographic records in accordance with the normative documents being in force on that time, formed the data to create additional access points for the future database (names of people who took part in creation of the book, names-personalias, names of institutions and organizations, to which the books are devoted, titles of series). There had been done a tremendous job with use of modern reference and bibliographic sources, viewing of publications (de visu), that allowed to clarify the forms of several hundred names and titles, to reveal many of cryptonyms and pseudonyms, to clarify the modern spelling of names of foreign authors. But revision and editing of the card mass of catalogue remained unfinished. On its basis the Corporation “Electronic archive” created the “Electronic Union catalogue of Russian books of the 19th century”, but due to a number of drawbacks it will not be considered as a full-fledged national bibliographic repertoire. The task on creation of an intrinsic repertoire and bibliographic resource remains relevant. It should be kept by separate chronological periods on the basis on the integrated use of bibliographic records for electronic catalogues of the Russian State Library and National Library of Russia, and electronic and card consolidated catalogues of 1826—1917. The priority work shall cover the period of 1826—1830, which is closely associated with the efforts on formation of the All-Russian Register of book monuments.
