Although major groups of AMN SSSR records designated for permanent retention have been transferred to GA RF, the archive of AMN itself retains some administrative-organizational records and scientific documentation of the Academy from 1945–1990, including materials from subsidiary scientific research institutes and research laboratories—such as the Institute of Physiology, the Institute of Immunology, the Institute of Experimental Biology, the Laboratory of Cancer Biochemistry, and the Institute of Remedial Medicine. There are also records of the AMN publishing house, experimental design offices (OKB) of factories, and the Moscow Physiological Society.
        In terms of prerevolutionary documentation, there are records from the Moscow Council for Children’s Shelters (1844–1927).
        The Archive retains personal papers of medical researchers A.L. Miasnikov, A.I. Savitskii, I.V. Davydovskii, O.B. Lepeshinskii, N.N. Burdenko, and P.K. Anokhin, among others.
        Aside from archival fonds there are some separate complexes of materials connected to initiation and prizes, including works for which prizes were received, files from expeditions to serve the peoples of the North and Kamchatka, AMN reference handbooks, prospectuses of AMN scientific research institutions, and in-house information bulletins.
        Among photographic documents are photo albums of the Leningrad Division of the AMN Lecture Bureau.

N.B. AMN SSSR records (1944–1985) that were designated for permanent retention were transferred to GA RF (B–1) in 1988 (fond R-9120, 2 opisi, 1,358 units).
