Produced by Dr. Anna Kortelainen in collaboration with the National Library and Library Channel, the Save Science! documentary recounts the story of science evacuation. It delves into the evacuation of the National Library\u2019s collections during the Winter and Continuation Wars.<\/p>\n
As the international situation escalated in September 1939, Helsinki University Library began preparing for wartime conditions. When the Soviet Union heavily bombed Helsinki in February 1944, a massive evacuation of science commenced far beyond Helsinki. 80 years after these events, the Save Science! documentary reveals the story of evacuations and introduces the heroes of the evacuations. Who were they and how was science evacuated?<\/p>\n
Written by Anna Kortelainen, the documentary sheds light on new information about science evacuations and the invaluable contribution of volunteers as part of the rescue efforts. The film contains a wealth of archival material as well as new material filmed specifically for this documentary. It also includes segments where Anna Kortelainen connects the events to the present day by interviewing Kimmo Tuominen, Director General of the National Library.<\/p>\n
During the Winter and Continuation Wars, the name Helsinki University Library was used for the National Library. Helsinki University Library then had a national role and task: to collect and preserve all published material in Finland.<\/p>\n
