The first volume describes documentation from the State Repository of Antiquities for Charters and Manuscripts, the central Muscovite prikazy, and collections from MGAMID and the State Archive of the Russian Empire (Gosarkhiv). Appendices include a helpful chart portraying the history of the archive and its prerevolutionary predecessors. The second volume covers high administrative records of the Russian Empire, predominantly from the eighteenth century, including imperial chanceries, the Senate, its departments and agencies, the Synod, other central government agencies such as the collegia and related chanceries, land-survey administrations, imperial court records, and government commissions. It also contains an extensive bibliography of documentary publications and reference literature (although regrettably lacking rubrics or annotations). The third volume describes records of local institutions of the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries and monasteries. The fourth volume covers collections of manuscripts and early printed books, family and personal papers, and estate fonds.
