Mogilev's priceless publications from the 18th century will be added to the library's collection

Old-printed Cyrillic publications from the Mogilev publishing house will be donated to the Book Museum on February 17 at 4 p.m. by members of the Harley–Davidson motorcycle owners' club, the oldest in Belarus.

The H.O.G Minsk Chapter Belarus Club was founded on February 5, 2013, and it is a recognised branch of the global Harley-Davidson motorcycle owners' community. The Motorcycle Club actively promotes various motorcycling programmes, encourages an active lifestyle, and takes part in cultural and educational initiatives in order to improve the perception of the motorcycle movement in Belarus. Igor Evseev, an honorary member of the club, will provide outdated printed materials to the library fund as part of the celebration of the community's 10th anniversary.

Two Old Believer publications, "Chasovnik" and "Psaltyr", that were printed in Mogilev's printing business in the 1930s will be added to the National Library of Belarus's collection. In the Belarusian territories, the appropriate liturgical publications were distributed. They were not only utilised in worship, but also for home literacy training. Consequently, just a few copies have been kept. The editions being offered feature screensavers, initials, and ligatures, which are typical of Old Believer publications from the 18th century, along with special handwritten inserts and a drawing of King David.

The transferred editions will be displayed prominently in the library's collection of printed literature in Cyrillic.

Entrance to the exhibition at the grand opening is free, the rest of the time the entrance is available by the library ticket or ticket of the library's social and cultural center.
