The Vitebsk Scholarly Archival Commission was established in 1909 by Vitebsk historians and folklorists and played a central role in the development of archival science in Belarus. It established the archives, museum, and library of the Vitebsk Governorate (existed 1802-1924), which evolved into the respective present-day institutions in the Vitebsk Oblast. The Commission’s book collection and exhibits formed part of the initial backbone of the current Vitebsk Regional Historical Museum and Vitebsk Regional Library. The Commission also studied and disseminated local history, collected historical materials, published scholarly papers about the Vitebsk region’s history, and even organized archeological digs and field trips. The Commission halted its activities in 1919 and its holdings are now located in the National Historical Archives of Belarus. This book stamp is from a book looted by the Nazis and sorted by Colonel Seymour Pomrenze, one of “the Monuments Men,” at the Offenbach Archival Depot. There are two scrapbooks of archival markings from the books sorted at the Offenbach Depot in the Seymour Pomrenze Collection held by the American Jewish Historical Society (Call number P-933) There is a finding aid for the collection here The digitized scrapbooks are available here and here.
