The article deals with the peculiarities of the reflection of the history of education in the Novgorod local text, in particular, the formation and development of the men's gymnasium: the conditions of its emergence, the specifics of the educational process. The study of the educational process and level of education is traditionally based on the analysis of documentary sources, which often do not reflect the view of the gymnasium students, teachers or outside observers about the educational institution. This omission can be compensated by analyzing memoirs, recollections and travelogues, the purpose of which was not only to record official information, excluding subjective impressions, but also to reflect aspects of everyday life of educational institutions. The article attempts to characterize the image of the Novgorod gymnasium on the example of A.V. Kruglov's works "On the Historical River (travel negatives)" (1886) and I.F. Radzikovsky's "From My Memoirs" (1895), devoted to the stay in Novgorod. The analysis of the works of little-studied authors allows, firstly, to introduce the texts into the scientific turnover, and, secondly, to consider their connection with the educational reform of the early XIX century. The image of an educational institution formed in the works under consideration allows us to speak not only about the role and place of the gymnasium in the life of Novgorod society, but also about the peculiarities of elementary education in Russia.
