The article investigates the problem of insufficient knowledge of the life and work of the first people's commissar of  health,  Nikolai  Aleksandrovich  Semashko.  Documents  from  the  collections  of  the  Museum  of  the  History of Medicine at the I. M. Sechenov First Moscow State Medical University are introduced into scientific circulation for  the  first  time,  shedding  new  light  on  the  work  of  N.A.  Semashko  as  the  chief  editor  of  the  Great  Medical Encyclopedia, the head of the Department of Health Organization at the 1st Moscow Order of Lenin Medical Institute during World War II, as well as his role in the development of Russian endocrinology.
