During the transformation, multidirectional dynamics are revealed, associated with a change in the technological basis, functioning models and social functions of libraries, archives and museums. Along with the strengthening of the role of some of the institutions of social memory as platforms for communication and public dialogue, their integration into the Unified Digital Knowledge Space leads to the expansion of functionality and to the upgrading of the status of social memory institutions in digital society. At the same time, the influence of scientific libraries and centers of scientific and technical information on the processes of knowledge production, its expert evaluation, as well as reflection and control of the dynamics of the formation of digital society can increase.
