==Visiting an Archive== | |||
In some cases, it may be necessary to visit an archive personally to obtain the desired record. Visiting an archive is not something that you can plan at the drop of a hat - it takes planning and preparation. '''Before''' you purchase airfare and plan your trip, be sure to contact the archive to see if they will be open during the time you plan to visit. | |||
Getting the most out of your archival research trip takes careful planning and preparation. Below you will find some tips to help you as you prepare to visit an archive. | |||
* '''Contact the Archive:''' inform the archive of the dates you plan to visit the archive and what materials you would be interested in viewing. | |||
* '''Apply to Visit the Archive:''' in some cases, you must submit an application to obtain a reading card and access to the archive. This can take anywhere from a few days to a few months, so be sure to ask the archive about the process well in advance. Applicants are typically asked to provide contact information, forms of identification, reasons for visiting the archive etc. | |||
* '''Confirm the Reading Room Hours:''' most research will be performed in the Читальный зал, or the reading room. Archivists will generally bring documents and archival manuscripts to the reading room for visitors to use. Be sure to know what the reading room hours are so that you can maximize your research time. | |||
* '''Transportation:''' plan out in advance how you will get to the archive. You can use services like [https://www.google.com/maps Google Maps] or [https://2gis.ru/moscow 2ГИС] (for Russia) to help you navigate public transportation. If you plan on driving to the archive, be sure to find out if there is parking available at or near the archive. | |||
