Fwd: [SEELANGS] Research materials in Russia

[June Farris]

The University of Chicago Library has 1895, 1897, 1899-1900, 1902 
volumes of Vsia Rossiia on microfiche.
(our call number  microfcHF3623.V79)


These years were filmed from the holdings of the Russian National 
Library of Russia (formerly the Publichnaia biblioteka imi. 
Saltykova-Shchedrina). They were filmed commercially for RNB by 
Norman Ross Publishers.

Our copy on microfiche is available for Interlibrary Loan. A printout 
can be made from the fiche, if one has access to a microform 
reader/printer, which can be found in most academic libraries and 
many public libraries.

The microfiche copy of this at the Library of Congress has the 
following call 
number: 
<http://catalog.loc.gov/cgi-bin//cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?SC=CallNumber&SEQ=20060823053446&PID=20464&SA=Microfilm+24185+DK>Microfilm 
24185 DK  Microform Reading Room
The University of Illinois Library (Urbana-Champaign) and Princeton 
report this same microfiche copy.
The Hoover Institution of Stanford University has some volumes in the 
original print version, but I don't know if 1895 is included in their holdings

Just as a further note, the Russian National Library in SPb has its 
own on fee-based on-demand copy/document delivery service (scanned 
documents sent to the requester electronically), which is quite 
good.  I've heard very positive responses about its service from our 
faculty who have used it and from others, as well.

Hope this helps.
