"Resource Library "Borderlands" was created out of the need of the moment and is a complete undertaking amateur. It is not competition for dynamically developing companies digital libraries, but only a modest addition to these items that will become "giants" in the near future they will not deal with it, either due to the subject matter or difficulties in getting there to the originals. The idea is to share interesting items about history of the Borderlands, which browsing through may help in discovering erased traces of our ancestors.
Thanks initiative and help of genealogists managing the portal Genealodzy.pl, the collected material is available on the server Polish Genealogical Society .
Our multimedia publication presents 12 collections of objects of material heritage of emigrants, which are kept in the collections of BINiM, the Belarusian Library named after F. Skaryna, as well as in Belarusian funds in the Library and Archives of Canada in Ottawa. Most of these collections are not systematized and have not been specifically studied.
What is presented in "Belarusian Emigration Collections" is far from exhaustive. Over time and in a different form, the database will be updated and improved. The same option aims at the primary representation of the rich and diverse material heritage of emigration.
