The archive was founded in St. Petersburg in 1728 as a repository for records of the Conference (General Assembly) of the Imperial St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences and its chancellery. In 1922 the archive was made a general archive for Academy records and named the Archive of the Russian Academy of Sciences. After the archival reform within the Academy of Sciences of the USSR in 1931, it was transformed into a general repository for records of all Academy institutions and private papers of scientists and scholars, members of the Academy of Sciences of Russia, and persons related to the Academy. After the Academy moved its headquarters to Moscow in 1936, a Moscow Division of the Archive was established in 1936, on the basis of the holdings of the disbanded Communist Academy under the Central Executive Committee (TsIK) of the USSR (1924–1936). The Moscow branch became the central archive of the Academy in 1963, while the Archive of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR in Leningrad was transformed into the Leningrad Division—since 1991, the St. Petersburg Branch—of the Archive of the Russian Academy of Sciences—SPbF ARAN (E–25). |
