The whole thing looks like a treasure trove; I think we're most likely to
find the Russian America Company stuff in the Central State Archives, by
the look of the descriptions given. I don't know enough Alaskan history to
know if the Russian Navy ever had a presence in Alaska - but I don't think
so; ships were the possessions and under the administration of the RAC, so
far as I know. Still, they list scientific expeditions, which hopefully
there may have been some of.......the Russian Far East archives maybe
extend into Alaska. I guess I'll start searching......
