From the website: "Digital Handbook for Research on Soviet History is a bibliographic guide to primary source materials for the study of Soviet history. It is developed by the Davis Center for Russian and Eurasian Studies, Harvard University, with support from the Harvard History Department.

This website is intended to support research on Soviet history by helping researchers navigate online resources collected and cataloged by our project team. These resources primarily pertain to fifteen post-Soviet states, but we have also included resources from beyond the post-Soviet space so that scholars with a broader spectrum of interests can also find this guide helpful. While a part of the resources included in the Digital Handbook is devoted to holdings in Harvard libraries, most of the resources presented on this website are open-access."
