Abstract
The paper deals with the study of the contribution of the scholars and, simultaneously, the professors of the Institute for History and Archives of the Russian State University for the Humanities, to the analysis of the complex of different types of audio-visual documents. Special attention is paid to the works of the founders of that relevant research direction, professors – A.A. Kuzin, L.M. Roshal, V.M. Magidov. At the same time, the paper presents the content of the latest generalizing works about audio-visual documents – the works created in the 21st century by the pupils and other successors of those authors. The used historiographical sources in the form of monographs, articles and manuals were systematized on the basis of chronological and thematic principles. The application of such an approach provides an opportunity to show the traditions and contemporary tendencies in analyzing different types of audio-visual documents by the specialists of the Institute for History and Archives and to determine the relevance of the published research on the topic.
The special focus of the article is on the works dealing with logically related issues of archival and source studies. Their choice for study is determined by the tradition of the scientific research at the Institute for History and Archives. At the same time, the paper presents the results of the study of the current topic of creation and preservation of visual and audio-visual documents in an electronic environment. Thereat, the article introduces the content of the notion of a “technotronic document” that was broadly used in the scientific studies of the end of the 20th – beginning of the 21st century.
