What can a family archive be like and why personal documents deserve the attention of researchers will be explained by the archivists of the "Prozhito" center. Letters from the front, faded photographs, school certificates, and diaries are not just forgotten relics in drawers, but part of a unique cultural heritage. Home archives are an integral part of history, allowing us to restore the everyday life of bygone eras and glimpse into the feelings, thoughts, fears, and joys of people through ego-documents. The lecture "What is a Home Archive?" opens the series of events "Memory in the Fields," organized by the Yeltsin Center in collaboration with the "Prozhito" center of the European University in St. Petersburg. Archivists and researchers Anastasia Pavlovskaya and Georgy Sherstnev will help listeners understand how to work with personal materials, why these documents hold historical value, and how they can be preserved and reinterpreted.
