About the collection

The structure of each of the state museums has a special unit, named as the funds. This is a basic and fundamental museum service. It is hidden from stranger’s eyes, it doesn’t like the hustle and bustle. It stores the values of museums: they accumulate, are combined in the collections, restored are located in the special conditions, are taken into account, scientifically described and studied, are introduced into scientific circulation. Stock collections in public museums are constantly replenished. Acquisition is done on the basis of the concept that determines what subjects can be called museum’s, which of them are needed by a museum and which don't fit its profile, so, determines the actual for museum themes and chronological framework. Museum may purchase items or receive them as a gift, but always in accord-ance with the concept of acquisition.

Museum objects are able to create exhibitions on different themes. Evidence of this – museums of the Museum-reserve (both working and preparing for the opening), numerous exhibitions. The acqui-sition of the funds of the f Museum-reserve "the birthplace of V. I. Lenin" started from the time of its creation, since 1984. It started from scratch. Therefore, the quantitative indicator can be considered to be very successful. The source of acquisition are mostly residents of our city.

The museum-reserve funds are centralized, so they are the same for all of our museums and count 42757 units, 312027 items of which are of the main fund. This amount is divided into the main and auxiliary funds. The main fund, in its turn, is divided into collections. The division into collections is carried out according to the classical scheme, i.e. on the materials.

We’ll accept with gratitude as a gift or take on the purchase any documents and materials, objects and items related to the history of Simbirsk K. XIX-early XX centuries.
