The House of Memory in Orenburg was ceremoniously laid on June 22, 2000, by the Mayor G.P. Donkovtsev and the Honorary Citizen of the city Yu.D. Garankin. The opening of this building took place on August 15, 2003. Located on Victory Avenue, it serves as an extension of the Eternal Flame memorial. The Memory Chapel has the form of a chapel and was built according to the project of architect S.E. Smirnov.
The main task of the House of Memory is to preserve and perpetuate the memory of the deceased residents of Orenburg. All information about the townspeople buried from 1900 to the present is entered into a computer database. Part of this information is available in desktop albums located in the central hall, covering the period from 1924 to 1955.
Since 1999, the city administration has been publishing the "Book of Memory" with the names of all Orenburg residents who died in the current year. The second part of this book contains information about citizens whose activities deserve special attention and evaluation. The House of Memory provides the opportunity to view or purchase these books.
The names of internationalist warriors who died during the war in Afghanistan, as well as the names of Orenburg liquidators of the Chernobyl accident, are engraved on marble plaques in the House of Memory. Also, in memory of them, the names of police officers who died in the line of duty in Orenburg, and residents who died while serving in the Caucasus, are immortalized.
