In 1930 the records of the Academy from 1757 to 1929 were transferred to the Leningrad Division of the Central Historical Archive (now RGIA, B–3), but in 1965, the immediate predecessor of RGIA, the Central State Historical Archive of the USSR (TsGIA SSSR), returned the records dating from 1918 to 1924. Prerevolutionary records, however, together with their extensive finding aids (see below), remain in RGIA (fond 789). The archive now retains records of the General Assemblies, Presidium, divisions, councils, commissions, and divisions of the Academy of Arts of the USSR (1947–1992). It also holds the consolidated fond of the I.E. Repin Institute of Painting, Sculpture, and Architecture (1918–1990s, now the St. Petersburg Institute of Painting, Sculpture, and Architecture), the records of the All-Russian Academy of Arts (1933–1947), as well as other institutions affiliated with the Academy of Arts that were created in 1948, such as the Scientific Research Institute of the Theory and History of Fine Arts, the Scientific Research Museum, the Scientific Library, the Scientific Bibliographic Archive, the B.V. Ioganson Secondary School of Art, the Administration of Studios and Laboratories (1947–1993), and the Administrative Division. Exceptions are archival materials from the V.I. Surikov Moscow State Art Institute and the Academy of Arts Press (abolished in 1953), now located in RGALI in Moscow (B–7). The records contain documentation from the artistic, scholarly, exhibition, organizational, and social activities of the Academy, and its work in preparing specialists in the fine arts and architecture. The division holds the personal papers of painters whose memorial museum exhibits are under administration of the Academy. Among these are I.E. Repin and members of his family, I.I. Brodskii, S.T. Konenkov, and the P.P. Chistiakov Memorial Group. There are also archives of leading teachers of the Russian Art School of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, including the painters V.V. Beliaev, D.N. Kardovskii, A.I. Segal, and P.A. Shillingovskii; the sculptors M.A. Kerzin, I.V. Krestovskii, V.V. Lishev, and V.B. Pinchuk; and the architects A.E. Belogrud, S.V. Beliaev, L.N. Benois (Benua), G.I. Kotov, M.T. Preobrazhenskii, M.I. Roslavlev, L.M. Tverskoi, and S.Ia. Turkovskii. The fond of the historian of architecture G.G.
