Research materials in Russia

[Jules Levin]

I am also involved with the Jewish genealogy list, and there is much 
there involved with data from Russia.
The following message was sent to the list:

         I've located several potentially useful entries in 
JewishGen's database
         of the index to Vsia Rossia - an 1895 directory of 
businesses in Russia
         and I'd like to obtain a photocopy of the original pages from Vsia
         Rossia. However, I'm having a lot of trouble finding the book's call
         number. I've searched for "Vsia Rossia" and 1895 Russian business
         directory in the Library of Congress catalog, the NY Public Library
         catalog and WorldCat and I can't seem to find it. Does anyone have a
         call number handy or some advice on how to search for it? 
Additionally,
         does the actual book have information that isn't available in the
         JewishGen index?

It has occurred to me that if it is feasible to photocopy pages from 
such materials
in Russia (in 1981 I actually was shown a 19th C. St. Petersburg 
address book in the Lenin Library
reading room), someone there could earn something charging for the 
service.  I would be happy to
post information on the Jewishgen list.
