SCRSS Library

The SCRSS Library, established in 1924, is a collection of over 35,000 books, journals and pamphlets covering Russia and the former Soviet Union. It comprises material in both English and Russian language, primarily from Soviet publishers. It includes a loan library, reference library and archive.

The collection is significant for its uninterrupted coverage of the Soviet period (1917-91) and includes some rare materials from the 1920s-40s, as well as a number of personal collections. It is an important resource for academic researchers (undergraduates and postgraduates), but also caters for those with a general interest in Russia.
