2020 marks the 100th anniversary of the end of the Estonian War of Independence. This war is a central event in Estonian national history, because as a result of the war, the people of Estonia for the first time achieved state independence and defended their freedom with weapons in their hands. Narva, due to its geographical location, played an important role in the War of Independence – here the war began and here it ended. That is why this collection is dedicated to the end of the War of Independence in Narva and considers the historical events important for Estonia primarily in the local, regional context.

The collection consists of eleven articles that trace the same theme - the end of the War of Independence in Narva, but do it from a different angle. The collection presents a wide range of research topics, from the military operations on the Narva front in 1919 to the everyday life of the Narva people during the years of the Estonian War of Independence. Cross-cutting topics include the deprivation of the civilian population, refugees and ordinary soldiers during the war years, the spread of the typhus epidemic and the fight against it, as well as the death of the white Northwestern army. Almost all articles in the collection touch on these topics, but each in its own way.

This autumn, the 10th Festival of Estonian Museums took place at the Narva Museum. On the occasion of the round date, we have dedicated this collection to the issues of museology, including the historical topics of the Narva Museum. An article about ideal museum landscapes or possibilities and preferences in the typology of museum exhibitions was written by museologist Marianne Raisma (Estonian Historical Museum). The practical side of creating exhibitions, as well as the possibilities of using and the need to preserve museums, is explained by the chief curator Riina Reinvelt (Estonian National Museum). Merike Ivask (Narva Museum) writes about the activities of museum staff within the framework of the Estonian Museum Festival, as well as the history of the Narva Festival. The sphere of expositional activity in the Narva Museum was not left without attention. The chief curator of the museum, Aili Wester, writes about the creation of the first post-war exhibitions, located in the barracks building in the Great Western Courtyard of the castle. In addition to an article about the history of the exposition, exhibition curator Kalev Saar offers a list of exhibitions exhibited at Narva Castle from 1997 to 2006, which gives a good overview of the exhibition activity of the Narva Museum and its relations with other museums, libraries and archives, with various embassies and cultural institutions, as well as with artists and photographers. The collection also includes an article by Svetlana Andreeva containing an analysis of the development of urban planning and the toponymy of the streets of Narva, based on the study of museum materials. Despite the fact that the collections reflect topics primarily of concern to museum workers, reading will also seem interesting to history buffs.

Edition in Estonian with output in Russian and English, 128 pages.
 

Vaatamata sellele, et toimetistes kajastatakse eelkõige muuseumitöötajaid erutavaid ja huvitavaid probleeme, jätkub siin lugemist ka ajalooarmastajatele ja eriti Narva ajaloo huvilistele. Seda enam, et iga ajaloohuviline on potentsiaalne muuseumisõber, kes on külastanud erinevaid muuseume ja näitusi ning küllap huvitub näituste tegemise ja nende interpreteerimise köögipoolest.

In 2004‒2005, excavations were carried out in several places in Narva, the most extensive of which were works in the old town, at sections 22‒26 along Suur Street. This is the largest archaeological excavation in the history of the city, and one of the largest in Estonia in recent years. The basis for the work was the laying of the foundation for the new building of the University of Tartu College. According to the “Law on the Protection of Antiquities of the Republic of Estonia”, archaeological sites on the territory of which construction is planned must be examined. Numerous scientists took part in the research of material from Suur Street, as a result of which we have publications concerning: the history of building (Aivar Kriiska and Mari Lõhmus, TU), leather finds (Krista Sarv, Historical Museum), textiles (Riina Rammo, TU ), coins (Ivar Leimus, Historical Museum), medieval ceramics (Arvi Haak, Tartu City Museum, and Aivar Kriiska), as well as tiles and tiles (Aldur Vunk, Pärnu Museum). In addition, a study is published on the history of the construction of the Narva Stock Exchange and its significance at the end of the 17th century (Anne Küng, TU).
In addition to the materials related to the excavations on Suur Street, the collection also contains articles on three abstract topics: articles on new dating of ceramics at the settlement formed in the Bronze Age at Narva Lipovka (Aivar Kriiska, University of Tartu and Mika Lavento, University of Helsinki), articles about the results of excavations in Narva Castle (Aivar Kriiska) and about the inhabitants of Ivangorod in the 17th century (Anne Küng). The goal, of course, is a comprehensive knowledge of the history of Narva.

ISBN 978-9949-7211-7-7

The book "Narva.Отдачидодворца" is a print of "Narva.
The Russian version of "From dacha to palace" and takes the visitor to two cities - Narva and Jaanilinna. Narva may be one of the largest cities in Estonia, but its architecture and historical environment are unfortunately little known to the general public.
The work is not limited to the description of the proud past, but the past is illuminated through the modern environment and it is shown that even now the city offers a lot of pleasure of discovery.

The main focus of the book is on the remaining objects and strata; the destroyed heritage, which is abundant in a city that has been a hotbed of wars, is less dwelt upon.
Of course, the Hermann Castle and other defensive structures, the town hall and the few surviving buildings of the old town, the proud industrial heritage connected with Kreenholm, as well as undoubtedly one of the most outstanding buildings in Estonia - Narva College of the University of Tartu are reflected.
There are also Soviet-era micro-districts with standard housing and gardening cooperatives with great self-made facilities, because modern Narva is largely made up of them.
In addition, the production of one of the most important commodities in modern Narva - electricity - and related facilities are discussed.
There is also a look at military objects and monuments, as well as the past and present of the ethnically diverse population on the banks of the Narva River.

The book deals with Jaanilinna, which grew out of the Narva district, both as a separate city, where, next to the most important landmark - the castle - the architecturally multi-layered and hitherto undiscovered Parussinka district is highlighted.
The Narva river, which joins and separates the mentioned settlements, is also not left out.

The book is primarily aimed at lovers of architecture and history, but also at locals who want to get to know their hometown better.
Since the region has been a breeding ground for different ideologies and wars for centuries, we want to offer a balanced and respectful approach.
Avoiding excessive nostalgia, the authors demonstrate how the edge of Narva sometimes even offers parallel realities, dislocations and secrets that are already disappearing elsewhere in Estonia.

For 150 years, cotton was the hero of Kreenholm — an employer for many people.
In the book, we will learn why this plant from a distant land met the water flow of the Narva waterfalls here.
We are talking about cotton and its processing and the waterfalls that were a prerequisite for the establishment of the cotton industry.
Then we will dwell on the history of the manufactory, from its foundation to the present day.
The most voluminous chapter deals with the establishment of large-scale industry during the tsarist era and the construction of industrial buildings, residences and other buildings necessary for the operation of the manufactory, which today have become an architectural value worth preserving.
We also talk about the living and working conditions of the workers, and the Kreenholm strikes and the awards won as a result of hard work are not left out.
In the chapter "From one war to another", we discuss the effects of the two world wars on the manufactory and the industry of the Republic of Estonia, which was caught in the middle and was looking for new markets.
This is followed by a chapter on the rebuilding of industry and working life from the ruins of the Soviet era, which ends with the collapse of the Soviet Union and the demise of industry looking for new opportunities in the economic crisis.
The book ends with a small look into the future.

More than 180 illustrations help illustrate the story of the cotton manufactory.
The book is in Estonian, Russian and English.

Among the beautiful vacation spots around the Baltic Sea, Narva Bay and the beach here have been known for a long time.
Summer visitors are attracted by the picturesque coast of Virumaa, wide and shallow sandy beaches and ozone-rich pine forests.
The idea of ​​establishing a resort from a fishing village belongs to Adolph Hahn, the former mayor of Narva.
On his recommendation, the Narva city council decided to rent a piece of land between Hungerburg and Šmetske küla, and a volunteer resort improvement committee was formed.
The planning of the Narva-Jõesuu settlement was innovative in its time, because in England and Germany the idea of ​​a garden city gained a wider resonance much later.
Almost without changing the natural environment, villas were built with spacious plots immersed in greenery, and natural parks were left in the center of the settlement.
Narva-Jõesuu has generally remained within the framework developed at the end of the 19th century to this day.
Although most of the architectural masterpieces of the 19th and 20th centuries were destroyed during or after World War II, the street structure has been preserved almost intact.
Major changes took place in the layout of the settlement during the Soviet era, when multi-storey sectional houses were built ignoring the existing plot and street structure.
More than 160 photos help to illustrate the history of the spa town, the summer culture and the life in the shadow of bathing Germany.
Unfortunately, Natalja Pessotchinskaya, the author of the photos of the pages of the book, has not been named in the print.
We apologize.

Currently the 3rd largest city in Estonia, it has always been an international fortress, port, trade and industrial city, for the conquest of which Danish and German orders and Swedish and Russian forces have fought battles at different times.
In the 17th century, Narva was one of the most beautiful towns known in northern Europe at the time.
It has been written about Baroque Narva: "Since the time of Queen Christina, Narva has been called the jewel in the crown, where you could imagine yourself somewhere far away, the caput mundi on the streets of Rome."
It seemed that the sun never sets over the city." The Second World War passed over Narva twice, in 1941 and 1944.
The March bombing, on March 6 and 7, 1944, destroyed the baroque heart of the city.
The subsequent demolition of buildings suitable for restoration and the construction of a free-plan new town in their place during the Soviet era is well-known and a frequent topic of conversation to this day.
This is how the more than 200 photos from the collection of the Narva Museum in this book tell us the story of the diverse past of the city of Narva.
