The project «Modern tendencies in actualization of the historical experience of identity formation in the Siberian region» is an innovative trend of social and humanitarian studies. One of the important directions in the study of identity issues is the formation of identities of local scientific communities. Analysis of the formation and transmission of identity as exemplified by the Novosibirsk scientific center contributes to the solution of this problem. The Novosibirsk scientific center is viewed in the context of activities of SB RAS as a phenomenon of the XX century. This is due to the innovative principles of its organization which include the priority development of fundamental research, introduction of research results into practice, the integrated training of scientific personnel, a network of scientific institutions in the Urals. The formation of regional-local identity in Novosibirsk Akademgorodok was a result of creation of the appropriate socio-cultural infrastructure. Important components of academic identity was the freedom of debate, democracy in communication, the pride of the intelligentsia at the uniqueness of the Siberian scientific town. This is reflected in the series «Science in Siberia in faces». It includes dozens of books about famous scientists that determined the scientific image of Siberia. The Museum of SB RAS exhibited such projects as «The History of the Siberian Science in Persons»; «Five decades in the history of SB RAS», «Novosibirsk scientific center: live, work, rest». Approbation of new ways of museum communication in the «Museum of science and technology» has shown their effectiveness in the development of scientific heritage. Collecting and museum activities of the Akademgorodok residents have become one of the forms of manifestation of the regional-local identity. Digital photo archives and personal archives of the scientists provide a promising area of identity research. The analysis of experience of formation and transmission of identity in NSC allows to interpret it as a regional-local phenomenon. It is characterized by the integration into the regional socio-economic space and the global scientific community, a high level of culture of life, intelligence and tolerance of scientists of Akademgorodok.
