In addition to <strong>the</strong> explanation <strong>of</strong> chapters <strong>and</strong> subdivisions, an outline is also given <strong>of</strong> all<strong>the</strong> possible components/entries a record can possess.1. ACCESS: a # following <strong>the</strong> name indicates that <strong>the</strong> archive/collection, or part <strong>of</strong> it, isclosed or that access is restricted. In all o<strong>the</strong>r cases, access is free.2. STATUS: in this guide we distinguish first <strong>and</strong> second category archives.First category archive: a ♦ indicates that we are dealing with a substantive archive/collection <strong>of</strong> an organization with an obvious <strong>and</strong> intrinsic relation to migration; e.g.Association pour la Conservation des Valeurs Culturelles Russes (ACCR)(established in Paris).Second category archive: <strong>the</strong> major part <strong>of</strong> this survey consists <strong>of</strong> data derived fromarchival sources <strong>concerning</strong> organizations which do not solely embrace migration<strong>and</strong> related phenomena, e.g. a poem written by migrants stemming from <strong>the</strong> archives<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Sozialistischen Arbeiter-Internationale (SAI). These records are not marked.3. NAME/RECORD HEADING: The names <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> organizations, individuals, articles,descriptions <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> content – underlined – are chiefly given in <strong>the</strong> au<strong>the</strong>ntic/originallanguage; in some cases we have added an English translation. Russian names aregiven according to <strong>the</strong> internationally recognised transliteration.4. SOURCE: This entry shows <strong>the</strong> name <strong>and</strong> type <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> source or sources from which<strong>the</strong> organization, person etc. was obtained. In addition to <strong>the</strong> main source we haveused references to indicate -indirectly – <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r sources. For ordering purposes in <strong>the</strong>reading room this name is to be used.5. ENTRY: Available aids to access: inventory, list, card index.6. SIZE: As far as complete archives/collections are concerned <strong>the</strong> size is indicated inlinear metres. Miscellaneous or incomplete items are indicated by giving <strong>the</strong> number<strong>of</strong> pages, or in a more descriptive way (cover, folder etc).7. PERIOD: For documents which are clearly dated <strong>the</strong> exact year is indicated. In caseswhere <strong>the</strong> date was not traceable or where it proved impossible/or inappropriate toindicate <strong>the</strong> precise period on o<strong>the</strong>r grounds, only <strong>the</strong> first <strong>and</strong> last date <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>documents belonging to <strong>the</strong> complete 'mo<strong>the</strong>r-archive' are indicated between brackets.We have also recorded as far as possible <strong>the</strong> dates <strong>of</strong> birth <strong>and</strong> death <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>individuals.8. CONTENTS: A description <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> relevant data. The addition <strong>of</strong> 'among o<strong>the</strong>rs' or'among o<strong>the</strong>r things' indicates <strong>the</strong> selection <strong>of</strong> data in a specific, migration-orientatedmanner (mostly applied with respect to second category records). The data containedin this survey – <strong>concerning</strong> migrants, migration, refugees, asylum, settlement <strong>and</strong>related phenomena – <strong>the</strong>refore must be seen as a specific <strong>and</strong> well-balanceddistillation from <strong>the</strong> total material in <strong>the</strong> archival holdings <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> IISH.9. INVENTORY/LIST NRS.: When material is drawn from archives with an inventoryor list, <strong>the</strong> corresponding numbers <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>se aids to access are indicated in paren<strong>the</strong>sis.
