Abstract
Personal funds have cultural, historical and scientific value, significant importance for society and the state. The article presents a source-research analysis of the personal fund documents. Sedip-ool Tokpak-oolovich Tanov (1901–1985) — a prominent statesman, politician, diplomat who greatly contributed to the formation and development of the Tuva National Republic. The Archives' personal collections, preserved at the National Archives of the Tuva Republic (folio 881 l, inventory 1) presented 62 items for storage (photo-materials, newspaper articles, personal files, autobiographical memoirs, award certificates, invitations, etc.) and contain facts and events dating, referred to 1929–2014. The most complete and consistent presentation of the role in the development of Tuvinian culture and the fate of S. Tanov allows the study of documents on his scientific and organizational, socio-political, cultural and educational activities. The relevance of the research lies in the fact that the author for the first time introduces to scientific circulation of unknown facts and events from S.T. Tanov's biography. The new scientific data on his activities allow us to determine the information potential and historical significance of his personal collection, trace the impact of historical processes on the culture of the region. The information obtained can be used in the field researches of archival science, archeography, culturology, and history of the Tuva Republic. The manuscripts of Sedip-ool Tanov's personal collection, in addition to his autobiographical recollections and memoirs about people and events, contain references to the places of document storage and can be used as an archival directory.
