This Collection consists of 524 items on the asset management catalog, which includes art, science and technology, industry, and other items of materials of production. This paper is a tentative report of these materials, before we will make arrangement for full-fledged study. Some items constitute several objects produced in different times. An individual numbers of items might be absolutely essential, because this number had been classified to allocate on each character of object in addition to asset to management number, therefore whole number of objects are over 1300 accounts. These number would be worthy to re-define classified subject, and to re-categorize with objects, too. Outlines of each subject in the collection are set out on this pre-research.
