Topic CULTURAL HERITAGE: EXPLORATION, PRESERVATION AND REPRESENTATION
Summary The article is devoted to the analysis of data compiled in 1902 by the construction department of the Perm Provincial Committee on “all ancient buildings and ancient monuments existing in the Perm province, as well as on modern monuments erected in honor of the Imperial and other persons or in memory of various events”. The background of the compilation of this list is characterized in the context of the development of a law on the protection of monuments and public discussion of the criteria for identifying objects to be protected. The authors describe the province’s monuments associated with the Romanovs, for the first time included in the range of objects of protection (largely lost in the subsequent time). A comparison is made of the information on the region’s religious objects indicated in this source with the 1902 description of parish churches of Ekaterinburg diocese. The information limits of the 1902 provincial list are identified. They were caused by the method of obtaining information for the list: reliance on documents preserved in the office of the provincial government, lack of cooperation with diocesan structures during the preparation of the list, subjectivity of assessments of the cultural value of the objects and an insufficient level of studying ancient monuments in the local history literature of that time. At the same time, the importance of this event is emphasized as the first attempt in the region to systematize information about the objects to be protected as monuments of history and culture. The compilation of an inventory of protected monuments had been for the authorities a certain step in the politics of memory, since a significant part of the heritage indicated in the list was associated with the idea of a monarchy, and the Urals were presented as a part of the Orthodox empire mastered by the Russian people.
