Penza, 19 December 2014. PenzaNews. The Penza region authorities plan to assemble a people encyclopedia with the help of the citizens themselves.

“The website of the regional government has a new section where anyone can write about themselves and their family. It may become a sort of encyclopedia of the Penza region that may help draw the history of the region through its contemporary people and tell more about the key events of the Sura land,” the press service of the Information Policy and Mass Media of the region told PenzaNews agency.

The officials explained that the new section has a text form: anyone who wants to add something to the website should choose the area of the region and write a short biography of a person with an included photo.

“Currently the section undergoes tests and is available only to website administrators. The regional departments are adding information to the website, and we plan to open it for public as early as in January 2015,” the press service informed.
