“Lighthouse. Lighthouses of Russia and the World” is the updated name of the project “Lighthouse. Virtual Museum of Lighthouses of the World"

(autotranslated, could have mistakes)

We decided to update the project name to more accurately reflect our focus on Russian lighthouses and Russian lighthouse keepers. From now on, the project changes its name to “Lighthouse. Lighthouses of Russia and the world."

Focus on Russia. Since the founding of the project in 2008, it has constantly evolved and has ceased to be a pure virtual museum, turning into a large portal about lighthouses and lighthouses. We have always kept our focus on Russia, since, among other things, the least information is published about the lighthouses and keepers of our country, compared to other developed countries.

Encyclopedia of lighthouses and keepers lighthouses is still a vital part of the project and will be updated.

At the moment we are starting to seriously replenish our encyclopedia of lighthouses with high-quality materials. First of all, we want to supplement the encyclopedia of Russian lighthouses with a descriptive part. In parallel with it, the encyclopedia of poppies of the world will be replenished in terms of lighthouses of the USSR, in order to eventually cover the majority of famous lighthouses in Russia and neighboring countries.

We also do not forget about the encyclopedia of lighthouse keepers, also primarily for Russia.

Articles about lighthouses. A large number of articles and other materials that have accumulated over the history of the project will continue to be presented in Articles about lighthouses. This section is no less important, since unfortunately a large number of articles about lighthouses have disappeared from the Internet along with closed or redesigned sites, so we continue to archive all the most interesting articles about lighthouses.

Beacon models will be separated into a separate area and will continue to develop within the framework of individual orders and exhibition activities.
