Russian Emigre Bibliographic Resources
This is a list of general bibliographies of monographs and periodicals as well as bibliographies on different subjects, such as literature, politics, and religion. We list indexes to journals and newspapers that are presently available as individual publications. We also include information on published catalogs of the émigré materials in different institutions in the United States and Russia. The information on publications by individual authors can be found in the section on Bio and Biobibliographic Resources. One of the sources for individual bibliographies is a series issued by the Bibliotheque russe de l'institut d'etudes slaves; Serie ecrivains Russes en France. The use of the subject word "bibliography " in combination with the words "Ecrivains" and "russes" as the series title in a WorldCat search will bring a list of these publications. We also included two Internet sites that provide extensive lists of bibliographies.
