For transfer to an electronic form of archive of A.A. Gorsky the complex of high-quality scanning of Pauerskan was used. Other materials from fund of the museum of the Bolshoi Theatre reflecting history of opera and ballet art were digitized on the equipment of the Planskan brand. The main advantage of this scanner is the careful scanning excluding both mechanical impact on the original, and influence of UF-and IK-beams.

More than 4000 pictures and over 1000 hand-written documents and sketches are transferred to an electronic form. Among the most valuable materials of a collection there are pictures and manuscripts of the great Russian ballet master and the teacher Alexander Gorskogo.

The museum receives the cylindrical roller allowing to consider a screen object in all its aspects and in parts and also the photo of an exhibit which can be loaded into the accounting system and Goskatalog of Museum Fund of the Russian Federation. Thus, digital copies are used by the museum in accounting activity and for representation of collections. Evgeny Mokeev, the deputy manager of department of ELAR corporation on work with the museums

We use electronic images within the organization of interactive exhibitions when on large-sized monitors are shown 3D - rollers. Thus, the modern viewer has an opportunity to see those suits which cannot be exposed because of their safety, or because of impossibility to provide for them special conditions of exposure.
