Holdings

There are several groups of archival materials within the basic library holdings. Within the Periodical Division is the M.D. Khmyrov Collection, which consists of 1,734 bound volumes of newspaper, journal, and book clippings, together with unpublished documents (1755–1865) relating to Russian and world history, and biographies of noted people.
        Unpublished manuscript materials of the A.S. Uvarov and A.P. Bakhrushin Collections were transferred to the Division of Rare Books.
        The library’s collection of nontraditional press now constitutes a special sector (see below).


Reference facilities:
Materials of the Khmyrov Collection, along with other archival documentation, are not separated into special fonds, but are rather described in the main library card catalogues, which are accessible in the Periodical Division.
