Abstract

This paper presents a brief summary of the twenty years of research carried out at the A. P. Ershov Institute of Informatics Systems SB RAS in the area of developing electronic archives for heterogeneous documents. The phenomenon of electronic archives emerged and has been developing as part of the Novosibirsk school of informatics, which has always been oriented towards the contracting of social services. In the 1970s, the first social service projects launched by the Institute were educational initiatives for school education, accordant with the well-known thesis of Andrey Ershov: “Programming is the second literacy”. Over the years, the IIS SB RAS has completed a range of projects on digitizing historical and cultural heritage of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences: the Academician A. P. Ershov Electronic Archive, SB RAS Photo Archive and the SB RAS Open Archive. This work has become especially relevant in view of the ongoing restructuring of the Russian academic science.
