The acquisition of Slavic and East European materials provides general support for a wide range of studies. UNC-Chapel Hill has a sizable Russian history collection, especially in the 18th and 19th centuries. Special efforts have been made to acquire reference materials, primary sources, and periodicals in this area. Among the more important acquisitions are a complete run of Polnoe sobranie zakonov (together with much of Svod zakonov), Sbornik Imperatorskogo russkogo istoricheskogo obshchestva, many ministerial histories (including all fifty-five volumes of Stoletie Voennogo ministerstva). Professor Samuel Baron's generous donation of 198 volumes of Chteniia obshchestva istorii i drevnostei rossiiskikh (Moscow University) made the library's set of this publication nearly complete. Comprehensive collection development in the area of contemporary Russian history began in 1987. Currently we have strong retrospective and current holdings in that area. Acquisition of the André Savine Collection of materials on the post-1917 Russian emigration considerably enhanced the Library's holdings of Russian émigré materials. The library also holds a number of large Microform Collections in Slavic and East European area studies.
