Sargis Kakabadze's unique personal archive is kept by his grandson Tsira Kalandadze. It is with his help that the documents of the historian's archive will be presented to the general public for the first time in the exhibition pavilion of the National Archives.

In addition to photo reproductions, the originals preserved in the family archive of Sargis Kakabadze will be exhibited: family photos and documents of the Kakabadzes, unpublished and completely unknown scientific works, archaeological items belonging to Sargis Kakabadze; Interesting archival material related to Sargi, Davit and Artem Kakabadze.

 

Sargis Kakabadze left the richest legacy: monographic works, scientific articles, epistolary legacy, photographs, priceless documentation related to the movement of Georgian treasure, which has not been published until now, therefore, it is not included in scientific circulation. The planned exhibition in the National Archives is the first step to introduce this material to the general public.
