Since 1991, however, despite the new Russian law on depository copies, with privatization and the breakdown of centralized controls, Archive has been receiving only a small percentage of the required depository copies, particularly from smaller publishers and from joint editions with publishers abroad. The depository is divided into special sections for different types of imprints: books and booklets, periodicals and serial works, cartographic editions, art editions, music, small-pressrun editions, and posters. There are also copies of small-scale printed works of up to four pages; works printed in less than 100 copies; works produced by offset, mimeograph, or xerox and the like; short-lived publications (less than a year); and works printed for advertising purposes. N.B. The State Archive of Publications holdings have some lacunae resulting from a bomb that hit the Book Chamber building and a July 1941 fire, as well as from various withdrawals and eliminations ordered by the censorship agency, Glavlit. Working conditions: The largest part of the State Archive of Publications holdings are retained in a special Finnish-constructed storage area in Mozhaisk. Materials may be ordered to the Moscow office (delivery time 2-3 days), or researchers may obtain immediate access and even overnight accommodations in the Mozhaisk facility. Reference facilities: Reference facilities include state registration lists, a card catalogue of restricted-access publications, previously missing or supressed editions, a card catalogue of available books from 1917—“1920, and inventory books for periodical publications (1917—“1930). A computerized retrieval system, “Archive,” installed in 1989, covers the holdings from 1931 to 1989. Copy facilities: Archive can prepare xerox copies at the request of organizations and individuals. |
