History of Belarusian art. M. M. Shchakatsikhin, lecturer in the history of Belarusian art at the Belarusian State University, has written "Outlines of the History of Belarusian Art" ("Нарысы па гісторыі беларускага мастацтва"), covering the period from the twelfth to the seventeenth century.

The "Outlines" are to appear in the autumn of this year as a book of about 15 printed sheets with more than a hundred illustrations.

Chrestomathy on the history of Belarus. The Socio-Historical Section of the Inbelkult has taken up the compilation of a chrestomathy on the history of Belarus. It will include sources on the history of Belarus from the 8th-9th century to 1924.

Five volumes are to be issued, of 10—15 printed sheets each. Picheta, Dyla and Drushchyts have been chosen as members of the editorial board for this work.

Compiling and publishing the whole chrestomathy will take about three years.
