History
The St. Petersburg Conservatory was opened in 1866 on the base of so-called Music Classes of Russian Music Society (RMO, after 1869, the Imperial Russian Music Society).
In 1918 the Conservatory was transferred to the jurisdiction of the People’s Commissariat of Education (Narkompros) RSFSR and became part of the state network of higher educational institutions.
In 1969, in honor of the 125th anniversary of the birth of N.A. Rimskii-Korsakov, a Museum of the History of the N.A. Rimskii-Korsakov St. Petersburg Conservatory was opened in the building of the Conservatory, to which was transferred some of the archival and manuscript materials held by the Conservatory for display purposes.

N.B. The archive of the Conservatory for the period 1917–1979 is retained in TsGALI SPb (D–18, fond no. 298). Records of the Conservatory and Russian Musical Society of 1862–1917 have been transferred to TsGIA SPb (D–16, fonds 361 and 408).
