The founders of this cultural object are members of the Simbirsk provincial academic archival commission.

Collections of the museum at the time of the opening

It remained only to hope for the donations of citizens and assistance, as it is now fashionable to say, volunteers. Thanks to the funds collected, the museum's executives managed to create a good collection of coins belonging to the amateur archaeologist A. V. Tolstoy and to open an exhibition dedicated to the architectural masterpieces of the wealthy collector VN Polivanov.

Moreover, among the volunteers regularly supplying the local history museum (Ulyanovsk) with different antiques, there were the following personalities:
