Second half of XIX-early XX cc. events were reflected in Romanov’s chronicle, representing two volumes of handwritten text (total more than 1000 pages) and his “Irkutsk citizen’s memoirs” about a period up to 1933.
A peculiarity of N.S.Romanov’s manuscript work was his personal impressions composition, contemporary memoirs and periodic literature of that time. Public and cultural life of the city and the most important events were well reflected in Romanov’s book. In 1992-1994 2 volumes of “Irkutsk city manuscript” were published by the Vostochnoe-Sibirskoe publishing house (it was prepared by N.V.Kulikauskene under the guidance of S.F.Koval).N.S.Romanov’s “Memoirs” interested many city researchers. This book was not published yet, except for several small parts.
