Digitized Russian Rare Books from the Metropolitan Museum of Art

[Margaret Anne Samu]

Posting this announcement on behalf of Viktoria Paranyuk:

The Thomas J. Watson Library at the Metropolitan Museum of Art recently digitized a small selection of rare books published in Imperial and early Soviet  Russia. This small sliver represents a wide range of themes and formats, including Soviet caricature, arms and armor, 19th-century photograph albums, collection and exhibition catalogs. I invite you to browse and use this wonderful collection here:

You may also access it via Watson Library’s catalog by going to the Digital Collections link:

Enjoy exploring it.
