Revelations from the Russian Archives

Acknowledgments

The Electronic Exhibit

The Library of Congress initially created a digital file of significant portions of 25 representative documents, making them available as a computerized, online version of the "Revelations from the Russian Archives" exhibit. The online exhibit contained accompanying text, translations, and captions for each of the documents included. The documents are available for personal use by scholars, students, and other interested persons.

This online exhibit marks the first nationwide electronic presentation of a landmark exhibit, and was the first simultaneous exhibition of physical objects and their electronic surrogates presented by a library.

Initially available at the Library's 'anonymous ftp' site in 1992, the online exhibit was converted in April, 1996, to the World Wide Web.
