Summary
На протяжении всего существования РАН неотъемлемыми составляющими ее деятельности являлись экспедиции ученых и, по мере надобности, организация научных станций на местах. Для руководства работой по организации баз и филиалов при Президиуме АН СССР была создана Комиссия по базам, которую возглавил вице-президент АН CCCР академик В. 7. Геологическая станция Таджикской базы АН СССР (середина 1930-х гг.) Источник: http://khaydarkan.su/arhivy_foto/Kniga_Fedorovskogo/pic/20.htm постановляет: «Сейчас же начать организацию специальной научной библиотеки (и музея), для чего выделить нужные кредиты и дать соответствующее помещение. Постановление об организации комплексных научно-и сследовательских баз Академии наук СССР в Свердловске было принято Советом народных комиссаров (СНК) в январе 1932 г. Статья призывала к реорганизации Комиссии по базам в специальный орган при Президиуме Академии наук, где были бы сосредоточены все функции и вся ответственность за работу филиалов и баз, их снабжение оборудованием и специалистами, научно-и здательскую деятельность. В структуре ДВФ АН СССР было также научное издательство и библиотека, основу которой составил 10-тысячный фонд библиотек Дальневосточного государственного университета и Дальневосточного научно-и сследовательского института. Как же велось формирование фондов этих новых академических библиотек, как осуществлялось материальное и методическое обеспечение?
