A Microfiche Collection of Scarce Books on 19th and Early 20th Century Russia

Russian History and Culture is a microfiche collection of scarce books selected from the Helsinki University Library's 300,000 volume Russian collection. The Library was an official depository of Russian books from 1820-1917 and has the richest collection of nineteenth- and early twentieth- century research materials outside of the former Soviet Union. The collection is being released in units of approximately 100-150 volumes each. The completed collection will provide a valuable research course of books previously unavailable or not readily available in North America.

Published indices for the all released units of the microfiche collection can be used in the Slavic Reading Room, Sterling Memorial Library Room 406 [Z2509 +R873 1988 (LC)]. These indicies are organzied by author, title, subject, and fiche number. The microfiches themselves are held in the Microform Reading Room, Sterling Memorial Library.
