1863-1864 m. sukilimas Šiaulių kraštotyrininkų akiratyje

ENThe Šiauliai Aušros Museum holds a number of artifacts of the 1863-1864 uprising. In the interwar period, the local history society, headed by Peliksas Bugailiškis, organised expeditions to collect exhibits and took care of the activities of the Aušros Museum. In 1933, to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the uprising, the local historians visited over 100 places in Panevėžys, Šiauliai, and Kėdainiai districts, wrote down the memoirs of direct participants of the uprising or their relatives, and collected almost 500 exhibits for the exhibition. The symbolic monument to commemorate the uprising was built in 1935 in Šiauliai, on the Hill of the Rebels, at the execution site of 11 rebels. Unfortunately, many of its exhibits, including the written accounts of the uprising, were lost during the evacuation of the museum during the Second World War. The published texts of the memoirs have survived. In 2006, the ethnographic archive of the Aušros Museum was included in the Lithuanian National Register of the UNESCO Memory of the World Programme.
