Research Support

Need something specific but can’t make the trip abroad? We would love the opportunity to help make your research successful!

SRAS Archive Services

Our team includes academics, translators, and interpreters experienced in researching in Russia.

Remote research. Are you looking for specific information or “dela,” but can’t make the trip abroad to get them? Contact us!
Logistics. We can help streamline your experience by arranging payments, following up on requests, and picking up and shipping copies.
Translation. Do you need to dive into archives but feel your language skills are not quite up to the task? Let us translate and interpret for you.

Archive Support Pricing

Every research project is unique. SRAS services and pricing are thus flexible to suit your needs. We use a pay-as-you-go, hourly system. The cost will vary by location and volume of work, but will generally follow the following formula:

$28/hr for the first 10 hours, $23/hr thereafter
Plus costs of any copies, scans, or photos (as charged by the archive) + the greater of 20% or $5 processing.

Our experienced staff are researchers themselves and are able to efficiently navigate archives, summarize documents, pick up scans, and more.
