Geological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences (Moscow), Department for the History of Geology

Irena G. Malakhova and Ivan P. Vtorov worked under the RAS plan of fundamental studies titled ‘Information System History of Geology & Mining’ (since 2010). http://scirus.benran.ru/higeo/

Content: persons (676), documents (527), bibliographies (572), institutions (353), photographs (908).

In 2016, we were involved in organization of the special meeting at the Geological Institute. Academician Yuri M. Puscharovsky celebrated his centenary on the 31^st of December, 2016. Puscharovsky is a Russian geologist well known with works on regional tectonics and the Pacific. He is a ‘live history’ of our Institute. Thanks to his close relations with Vladimir V. Tikhomirov a lot of documents, memoirs and photos of Puscharovsky were carefully kept in our Department, digitalized now and used for the slide show (arranged with music) at the jubilee meeting. (available on YouTube https://youtu.be/hB3xSKnA2TA ).

Malakhova was delegated to the 8^th All-Russian Congress of Geologists (Moscow. October, 2016).

P.S. Three sessions of the Congress: 1922 – Petrograd; 1926 – Kiev; 1928 – Tashkent. The 4^th session was hold only in 2000 (Saint-Petersburg).

Vtorov had a private trip to the Kola Peninsula and visited the Geological Institute of the Kola Science Centre of the Russian Academy of Sciences, museums and historical sites.

He was responsible for the compilation of the list ‘Significant dates_2017’ (Web site of the Geological Institute). http://www.ginras.ru/struct/19/9/daty2017.php).

Malakhova and Vtorov placed new publications, descriptions and pictures of minerals (the Fersman Mineralogical Museum, Russian Academy of Sciences) in the “Digital Library Scientific Heritage of Russia”. http://e-heritage.ru/index.html

The Russian INHIGEO members can now get information, did comments and discuss on the new Web-site (Malakhova – an editor, Vtorov – an adminstrator).
