Pre-1917 travellers' guide books

[ameliede at EARTHLINK.NET]

Are there research libraries outside the former USSR that would have 
collections of
city guides from Russia and Eastern Europe pre-1917?  I know that, 
e.g., Baedeker was
already publishing such guide books before 1900, and for the major 
cities they were available
in several languages.  I assume that Library of Congress and Widener 
Library would have something,
but perhaps someplace unexpected (to me!) happens to have a major collection.
My interest is not limited to language or USA.
