Documents on the history of the Botanical Garden include a unique catalogue of plants from 1829, construction drawings and plans for the erection of the orangerie and other buildings within the Botanical Garden, and photographic albums of the orangerie. The archive has materials from the All-Union Botanical Society (1915–1932—Russian Botanical Society, and 1932–1945—State All-Russian Botanical Society; website: http://www.binran.ru/rbo/index.htm). Although designated for transfer for permanent preservation in PFA RAN, the institutional records after 1953 also remain in the Archive. Approximately one-third of the documents consists of the manuscript legacy of eminent botanists and those associated with the Institute—”such as A.A. Elenkin, A.A. Iunatov, A.N. Krishtofovich, V.P. Savich, and V.A. Transhel', among others—”including their scientific writings, correspondence, and other documents. N.B.
