HISTORY
The university's Fundemental Library is one of the largest university forest libraries in Russia. Its book collections reflect the history of the development of forest science and forest education, as well as the experience of forest management.
The Library stores the first editions of the works of M.V. Lomonosov, K. Linnaeus, S.P. Krasheninnikov, P. Pallas, N.M. Karamzin, G.R. Derzhavin, A. Kantemir.
