e-171. Arkhiv Akademii nauk SSSR: Obozrenie arkhivnykh materialov. 8 vols. Moscow, 1933–1986. (Also listed as e–2). [AAN SSSR/ARAN] “Trudy Arkhiva Akademii nauk SSSR,” vol. 1, 5, 9, 16, 19, 24, 27, 28. (Lib: DLC; IU; MH) [IDC-R-10,949 (vols. 1—“6)].
Electronic edition: http://ranar.spb.ru/rus/books1/cat/134/; http://www.arran.ru/?q=ru/obozr

The first two volumes describe the major institutional fonds (roughly to 1939) in PFA RAN, those of the Communist Academy, and also together provide helpful annotations for 157 personal fonds acquired before World War II, most of which are held in St. Petersburg. The introductory coverage of the history and organization of the archive (vol. 1) is obviously now outdated by subsequent reorganization. Subsequent volumes are devoted to similar annotations for personal fonds acquired later. An appendix in vol. 5 (19) indexes the personal fonds described in previous volumes, and references finding aids in different volumes of the Trudy (e–174.1).
