ArcheoBiblioBase: Archives in Russia: D-15Last update of repository: 7 December 2020Tsentral'nyi gosudarstvennyi arkhiv Sankt-Peterburga (TsGA SPb)Access & Facilities Access Almost all previously closed fonds to 1972 have been declassified and their materials are now accessible to researchers. Records of the “filtration” camps, received from the former KGB archive (now the Archive of the UFSB SPb, see D–28), have still not actually been transferred to TsGA SPb and hence are not accessible to researchers. The list of fonds declassified in 2013–2018 is available at: https://spbarchives.ru/cga_declassifi.... Working conditions Files are delivered to the reading room within 5 days after orders are submitted. Only 5 files and 5 opisi can be ordered per day.

Reference facilities The website has a list of all fonds and opisi within each fond with brief annotations and some opisi with scanned image at: https://spbarchives.ru/infres/-/archi....
