Chuvash National Congress

The Chuvash National Congress is a library in Cheboksary dedicated to documenting and preserving Chuvash heritage. The collection spans a variety of resources, literature, and documents reflecting the history and cultural life of the Chuvash Republic.

The institution was founded in 1992 following a resolution from the Supreme Soviet of the Chuvash Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic. Its creation came during a period when the Chuvash region sought to strengthen its distinct cultural identity.

The collection features works in the Chuvash language, from traditional folk songs to poetry and historical manuscripts that shape the region's cultural life. Visitors find materials showing how Chuvash identity is preserved through language and literature.

Visitors can use an electronic catalog system that contains information on a large portion of the holdings and helps navigate the collection. Using the system enables targeted searches for relevant materials.

The institution publishes a newspaper called Chuvash World that connects cultural organizations across different regions of the country. Through this medium, cultural initiatives and news from the Chuvash community are shared.
