Abstract
The study examines the history of the Byelorussian Republican Scientific Agricultural Library, which is currently known as the I. S. Lupinovich Belarusian Agricultural Library of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus, hereinafter referred to as BelAL. The results of a historical and biographical study of the library’s staff are presented, aimed at identifying employees who were participants and veterans of the Great Patriotic War. Specifically, attention is given to seven former staff members of the BelAL: N.A. Rakovich, Z.V. Shupenya, F.M. Khomenko, V.K. Petrov, N.G. Kholupov, I.V. Moroz, and D.P. Kharitonovich. The paper recounts their biographies along with their service during the war. It is noted that the list of employees of the BelAL whose lives were affected by the Great Patriotic War is not limited to the names mentioned, and further research in this area may be continued.
