The life of prerevolutionary Russia is represented by photographs of plants and factories, banks, stock exchanges, insurance societies, and shops. A number of photographs depict the construction and operation of railways, ports and canals, and public transportation, and the economic development of the capital. Materials of the archive characterize the daily life of various social layers of the population–the gentry, bourgeoisie, the clergy, civil servants, scientists, artists, workers, and peasants. There are many photographs of members of the imperial family and well-known political and social figures, including S.Iu. Witte (Vitte), I.P. Pavlov, L.N. Andreev, L.N. Tolstoi, A.M. Gor'kii, A.A. Blok, I.E. Repin, N.A. Rimskii-Korsakov, P.I. Tchaikovsky (Chaikovskii), and F.I. Chaliapin (Shaliapin), among others. There are many views of the activities of the scientific, cultural, educational, and philanthropic societies and organizations, including city hospitals and asylums. Political history is represented by photographs about the events of the Revolutions of 1905–1907 and 1917, which were shot by such famous photographers as V.K. Bulla, P.S. Zhukov, and Ia.V. Shteinberg. There are also photographs depicting hostilities of the Civil War and World War II. Activities of government institutions are reflected in photographs of meetings, such as those of guberniia, oblast, and okrug congresses of soviets, and of plenums and sessions of guberniia, oblast, city, and raion executive committees.
