Abstract
The article presents the results of a study on the pedagogical ethos of archival education, which is of significant interest to historical and pedagogical science, as it reveals the value-based foundations of the formation of one of the key professions in the field of preserving historical and cultural heritage. Modern scientific literature is dominated by works devoted to the institutional history of archival affairs, while the issue of professional value orientations in the training of archivists remains understudied. There is a clear gap in research on the evolution of the normative and value system of archival education in Russia. The aim of the research is to identify and analyze the main stages in the formation of the pedagogical ethos of Russian archival education in its historical dynamics. The methodological basis consisted of the historical-genetic method, which allowed tracing the formation of the ethos in chronological sequence, and the historical-comparative method, which ensured the comparison of value models from different periods. Content analysis of curricula and pedagogical works was additionally used. As a result of the study, it was established that the genesis of the pedagogical ethos of archival education in Russia was characterized by a contradictory interaction of two main models: the scientific-enlightenment model and the service-pragmatic model. Three historical stages in the formation of the professional ethos of archivists were identified, each characterized by a specific correlation of scientific and service values. Key factors that influenced the transformation of value orientations in archival education were determined. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the systematic reconstruction of the evolution of the pedagogical ethos of archival education as an integral historical and pedagogical phenomenon. The obtained results expand scientific understanding of the patterns of professional identity formation in the field of historical and archival disciplines.
