"A long way from Moscow": a collaborative project between archivists, librarians, and historians from the Steppes of Saratov Province and High Plains of Colorado
(Colorado State University. Libraries, 2010) Rock, Kenneth W., author; Bishop, Janet, author; Regis University, publisher
This article describes the authors interactions with Russian archivists, librarians, and historians during a 2008 delegation visit to Saratov Province, the state of archival holdings and special collections in the Saratov area, and preliminary discussions regarding proposed collaborative digitization and academic research projects. A reciprocal visit by Russian and Ukrainian colleagues the following year to participate in the Inaugural Conference on German-Russian Studies is also detailed. The authors, both members of the Joint Academic Board for the International Center for German-Russian Studies at Colorado State University, discuss outreach strategies and lessons learned regarding a wide-ranging collaborative international project with information professionals and academics in a region previously closed to the West.
