First-year students of the School of Law at the University of Internal Affairs visited the General Archives Authority as part of their course, “Mongolian Language and Script – Official Document Management,” to apply their theoretical knowledge in practice and broaden their understanding of archival operations.
During the visit, the students explored historically and culturally valuable documents and exhibits preserved in the National Archival Holdings of Mongolia. They viewed a special exhibition featuring historical documents, manuscripts, and artifacts, including birch-bark books, silk decrees issued by Qing emperors, documents related to the 1945 national referendum, population census records, and seals and stamps.
The students also visited the Museum of Film, Photography, and Sound Technology, where they learned about the equipment and technologies used to preserve, protect, and restore archival film, photographs, and audio recordings. They were introduced to the operation and use of film projectors, photographic and film processing equipment, and devices used to read and duplicate magnetic audio tapes.
The visit provided students with valuable first-hand experience in archival preservation and protection, helped them better understand the functions of archival institutions, and enabled them to connect the theoretical knowledge gained through their coursework with practical experience.
We would like to express our sincere gratitude to the staff of the General Archives Authority for their support and cooperation in organizing this educational visit.
