The Archives hold both still picture and textual material. As none of it is arranged by subject or geographical area, it was difficult to ascertain the size of relevant holdings. Because collections are designated by individual photographers for the most part, the researcher would have to know in advance a specific photographer who visited Russia and took pictures there (one possibility is Margaret Bourke-White). Among the stereo views, however, which are in part filed under geographic areas, the staff was able to uncover, in a rapid check, some 30 views of Russia (undated). There may be more pertinent holdings, either photographs or written matter (letters, diaries, manuscripts), in the Archives.
