Ushinsky State Pedagogical Library, Educational library in Moscow, Russia.
The Ushinsky State Pedagogical Library is an educational library in Moscow focused on teaching materials and pedagogical scholarship. The facility houses textbooks, research publications, and documentation on instructional methods across different time periods and subject areas.
The library began in 1925 as a reference collection in the information department of the RSFSR People's Commissariat for Education. In 1939 it became the State Library for Public Education, and in 1942 it moved to Bolshoy Tolmachyovsky Lane 3. It joined the Academy of Pedagogical Sciences in 1944 and was named after Konstantin Ushinsky in December 1945. In 1975 it received the Order of the Red Banner of Labour.
The library has borne Konstantin Ushinsky's name since December 1945, when it was assigned to honour the Russian pedagogue. Its holdings include pre-revolutionary Russian school textbooks, curricula and teaching aids, alongside publications from the Academy of Pedagogical Sciences. Since 1994 staff have built an electronic database of Russian and foreign education literature, now several hundred thousand records.
The library is located at Bolshoy Tolmachovy Lane in Moscow and is open Monday through Friday from 09:30 to 18:00. Keep in mind that using certain collections or archives may require advance notification.
The collection includes a database containing both current and historical pedagogical documents linked to the Russian Academy of Education. This connection gives visitors access to materials that are hard to find elsewhere.
