The library retains some of the documentary materials of the Leningrad Division of the All-Russian Theater Society, which was reestablished in 1935. These include minutes and stenograms of the meetings, conferences, and discussion held by the Society, as well as performances by G.A. Tovstonogov, N.K. Cherkasov, and N.P. Akimov, among others. There are also factual dossiers about St. Petersburg theaters and theater productions, theater programs, and biographical materials relating to distinguished actors and stage directors of St. Peterburg theaters, among other materials. Documentary collections have been formed of press-clippings by the most prominent theater critics of St. Petersburg, such as M.O. Iankovskii, S.L. Tsimbal, and V.A. Sakhnovskii.
