ABSTRACT The two specialized collections from the libraries of Cornell and Columbia Universities represent an expansive array of holdings of keen interest to diverse publics. Capitalizing on the rich scope of materials – from modernist book images and broadsides to sheet music to booklets and pamphlets, many recently and strategically acquired – enables the collections not only to promote original scholarship but also to creatively engage students of the humanities and social sciences broadly.

ABSTRACT This paper recounts the details of the purchase of the historian E. A. Presniakov’s Russian library by the Columbia University Library in 1930 and gives a general description of its components and significance. It uses the library as the basis for a general assessment of the breadth and depth of Presniakov historical contributions, concluding that the originality of insight and interpretation place him among a number of great prerevolutionary historians. The lateness of his professional development, culminating after the Bolshevik seizure of power and during the vicissitudes of the 1920s, and then his early death by cancer have deprived him of that recognition. This paper describes and assesses his major works on medieval Russia, the Lithuanian-Russian state and Ukraine, as well as his late writings on nineteenth century monarchs.
本文叙述了1930年哥伦比亚大学图书馆购买历史学家E. a .普雷斯尼亚科夫的俄语图书馆的细节，并对其组成和意义进行了概述。它使用图书馆作为对普雷斯尼亚科夫历史贡献的广度和深度进行总体评估的基础，得出结论认为，洞察力和解释的独创性使他跻身于许多伟大的前进化历史学家之列。他的职业发展很晚，在布尔什维克夺取政权之后，在20世纪20年代的沧桑中达到顶峰，然后他因癌症过早去世，这使他失去了这一认可。本文描述并评价了他关于中世纪俄罗斯、立陶宛-俄罗斯国家和乌克兰的主要著作，以及他关于19世纪君主的晚期著作。

ABSTRACT Geroid Tanquary Robinson (1892–1971) was a pioneering scholar of Russian studies in the United States. As founder of Columbia University’s Russian Institute (now Harriman Institute) Robinson created one of the premier centers for the study of Russian and the Soviet Union and, in the process, set in place a model for area studies programs that would be widely emulated. This article traces Robinson’s biography and intellectual influences, while outlining his contributions to the field of Russian studies.

ABSTRACT The digitization of historical news sources – both print and audio-visual – has altered the information landscape for researchers in all scholarly disciplines that investigate the past. Thanks to the initiative of nonprofit cultural heritage institutions, commercial enterprises, and joint public-private partnerships, researchers now have a plethora of electronic resources at their disposal. Unfortunately, only a portion of this data is freely available online, and what is available is generally scattered all over the internet. While guides to contemporary (currently active) news media outlets and newspapers abound, historical news sources are more difficult to locate. This article describes the authors’ efforts to compile and publish an online guide to open access historical news sources from Slavic, East European, and Eurasian countries. It outlines the selection criteria, describes the guide’s layout, and provides a survey of preliminary usage statistics.

ABSTRACT This bibliography lists and describes forty-one volumes of old and rare books in Arabic script held in the Library of the National Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Kyrgyzstan located in Bishkek. This small but unique collection has been neglected, untouched, and uncatalogued due to lack of linguistic expertise. The publication dates of the books in the collection generally range from the mid-nineteenth to early twentieth centuries. Each bibliographic entry consists of the original Arabic title of the work, full imprint information, and a brief annotation. Most items described in this bibliography are not found in modern catalogs, including the WorldCat database. This bibliography is a first step in providing access to one of the many hidden and rare collections in Central Asia.

ABSTRACT The present article discusses the University of California-Berkeley’s collection of select rare books from Imperial Russia and its predecessor states while relating this tracing to the history of printing in Russia. For this case study, a sample of pre-Petrine era and early Imperial Russian books that were published before 1800 was gathered and analyzed for the subject distribution. This article provides some historical background on how this collection evolved over the history of UC Berkeley. The collection was also analyzed based on Old Church Slavonic and Russian along with the places of imprints within the Russian Empire. The purpose of this case study was to document the rare books from pre-Imperial and Imperial Russia while providing the ancillary yet useful information about the Russian Studies collection development at UC Berkeley.

ABSTRACT Video appeals to the president of Russia are a primary source of unprecedented richness for the study of various aspects of contemporary Russian life. Online videos are recorded by diverse groups and individuals in Russia as attempts to prompt President V.V. Putin to directly resolve specific social, economic, cultural, and environmental problems; and to express opinions on a variety of issues or to wish him well. The content of this material and its role as a historical source can be compared to epistolary archives and, specifically, letters to the authorities written by Soviet citizens. This paper describes an experimental project in collecting, preserving, and providing access to these videos.

ABSTRACT This article discusses the phenomenon of rock music zines in the Soviet Union and Russia, focusing on the historical value of zines, as well as their tradition within the realm of samizdat, a milieu where zines flourished, with their writers-editors, production values, types of design, and audiences. Types of zines are discussed as well as their relationship to traditional samizdat. The collection of rock music zines in that International Counterculture Archive at the George Washington University (GWU) Library’s Global Resources Center is described in this regard with special notes given to the provenance of the collection as well as to the cataloging and descriptive approach to processing the rock music zine collection.

Welcome to the final issue (v. 22, no. 3–4) of Slavic & East European Information Resources(SEEIR) for 2021, a double issue featuring several unique collections, new digital resources, a captivating memoir, and one book review. I offer congratulations to all the authors for their excellent work, and gratitude for submitting revisions in a timely manner. Thanks also goes to my fellow editors for their efforts to meet an accelerated publication deadline – this issue would not have been possible without their work. The Research Articles section opens with an article by Erik Zitser and Bogdan Horbal describing their effort to “compile and publish an online guide to open access historical news sources from Slavic, East European and Eurasian [SEEE] countries.” The authors first explain how this new guide facilitates remote access to historical newspapers and fills a gap that has heretofore existed in the current bibliographic landscape; then briefly discuss ideological and practical questions that help readers to understand why the authors chose a particular platform for the guide. The bulk of the article details the guide’s layout, criteria for selecting resources for each country in the SEEE region, and preliminary usage statistics suggesting the guide’s utility in meeting researchers’ needs. Samples from the guide are accompanied by screen shots and data figures on usage. In their conclusion, the authors encourage users to submit corrections, suggest additions, or volunteer to co-curate one or more of the guide’s sections, making it clear that Zitser and Horbal envision the guide to be a cooperative affair that bridges gaps, crosses borders, and builds community within the field. The second research article, by Mark Yoffe, discusses the value of collecting non-traditional publications, such as the collection of rock music zines housed in the International Counterculture Archive at the George Washington University (GWU) Library’s Global Resources Center. Yoffe begins by describing the social milieu in which Russian and Soviet rock zines were created and subsequently contextualizes zine production within the broader tradition of samizdat. Noting how rock zines reflected the subculture/counterculture among certain currents of Russian and Soviet youth, the author outlines different types and forms of rock zines that emerged during the Soviet period. Images of several rock zines from GWU Library’s collection offer vibrant samples of the different forms. In contrast to the collective spirit of official Soviet society, the author points out the individualism and democratic culture that characterized rock zine production during the Soviet period.

欢迎收看2021年《斯拉夫与东欧信息资源》（SEEIR）的最后一期（第22卷，第3-4期），这是一期双刊，包括几个独特的收藏、新的数字资源、一本引人入胜的回忆录和一篇书评。我祝贺所有作者的出色工作，并感谢他们及时提交修订稿。也要感谢我的编辑同事们为加快出版截止日期所做的努力——如果没有他们的工作，这一期是不可能的。研究文章部分以Erik Zitser和Bogdan Horbal的一篇文章开头，描述了他们为“编写和发布一份在线指南，以开放访问斯拉夫、东欧和欧亚国家的历史新闻来源”所做的努力。“作者首先解释了这本新指南如何促进对历史报纸的远程访问，并填补了迄今为止在当前书目格局中存在的空白；然后简要讨论思想和实践问题，帮助读者理解作者为什么选择一个特定的平台作为指南。文章的大部分详细介绍了指南的布局、SEEE地区每个国家的资源选择标准，以及初步使用统计数据，表明指南在满足研究人员需求方面的实用性。指南中的样本附有屏幕截图和使用数据。在他们的结论中，作者鼓励用户提交更正、建议添加内容，或自愿共同策划指南的一个或多个部分，明确表示Zitser和Horbal将指南设想为一项合作活动，弥合差距，跨越边界，并在领域内建立社区。Mark Yoffe的第二篇研究文章讨论了收集非传统出版物的价值，例如乔治华盛顿大学图书馆全球资源中心国际反文化档案馆收藏的摇滚乐杂志。Yoffe首先描述了俄罗斯和苏联摇滚杂志创作的社会环境，随后将杂志制作置于更广泛的地下媒体传统中。注意到摇滚杂志如何反映了俄罗斯和苏联青年的亚文化/反主流文化，作者概述了苏联时期出现的不同类型和形式的摇滚杂志。GWU图书馆收藏的几本摇滚杂志的图片提供了不同形式的充满活力的样本。与苏联官方社会的集体精神相反，作者指出了苏联时期摇滚杂志生产的个人主义和民主文化特征。Yoffe's SLAVIC&EAST EUROPEAN INFORMATION RESOURCES 2021，第22卷，编号3–4，259–262https://doi.org/10.1080/15228886.2021.2031626
