Society for the History and Archeology of the Baltic Provinces of Russia

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Society for History and Archeology of the Baltic Sea Provinces of Russia ( GGuA ), also Society for History and Archeology of the Russian Baltic Sea Provinces , was a historical association in the Russian Empire and later in Latvia with its seat in Riga .

history

The Society for the History and Archeology of the Baltic Sea Provinces of Russia was a society devoted to researching the history of the three Baltic Sea Governments , i.e. Liv, Estonia and Courland. It was founded on September 1, 1834 at the instigation of the later pastor in Saint Petersburg Gustav Reinhold Taubenheim (1795–1865) and had its seat in Riga. The inaugural meeting took place on December 6, 1834. The driving force next to Taubenheim was Karl Eduard von Napiersky , the editor of the "Messages from the areas of the history of Liv, Estonia and Courland". The society closed a gap, as there was only a single professorship for history at the University of Dorpat in the Baltic region . Especially after Sergei Semjonowitsch Uvarow took office as Russian education minister, the society saw an essential task in the defense of the Russification efforts and the defense of the privileges of the Baltic provinces through historical research. In 1896 the society hosted the 10th Russian Archaeological Congress in Riga. Since 1890 the company has kept the Livonian Document Book on behalf of the Baltic estates. After 1919 it was renamed the Society for History and Archeology in Riga . It existed until 1939.

The library of the Society for History and Archeology

The library of the Society for History and Archeology, which last comprised 70,000 volumes, was of particular importance. When the company was founded in 1834, there were only private collections in the Baltic States. The basis of the library was the purchase of the two private collections of Pastor Gustav Bergmann and Pastor Johann Gotthard Schweder shortly after the Society was founded. These two collections comprised 6,000 books and manuscripts on Baltic history. In the following years the private collections of leading men in the Baltic Sea provinces were acquired through purchase or donation. These included the collections of the general superintendent Karl Gottlob Sonntag , the court master Friedrich Siegmund von Klopmann , Johann Friedrich von der Recke and the pastor Johann Kallmeyer . In the course of further history, the portfolio grew continuously through donations. Special services to the library were made by Dr. August Wilhelm Buchholtz , who ran the library from 1839 to 1860.

The Riga Cathedral Museum

In 1890, as part of the renovation of the Riga Cathedral, the cloister was expanded to become the Cathedral Museum of the Society for History and Archeology. Archaeological finds and historical objects from Baltic history were shown.
