- *** SIX DOCUMENTS ADDED TO SOVIET ARCHIVES COLLECTION ***
-
- With permission from the Russian government, the Library of
- Congress has added six documents to the Soviet Archives
- collection available across the Internet. The new files are
- located in /pub/soviet.archive/text.english along with the
- original 25 documents. They are labeled AA - AF, and once again
- .BKG denotes a brief background statement and .DOC denotes the
- English translation of the document itself. The README file now
- reflects the new, complete list of documents.
-
- Here are the FTP instructions for retrieving the Soviet Archives
- background and translation files:
-
- FTP seq1.loc.gov
- USERID: anonymous
- PASSWORD: your network address
- CD pub
- CD soviet.archive
- get README All uppercase filename
- CD text.english
- ls
- get <filename(s)> Type filename WITHOUT <>
- quit
-
- Also, note that
- CD .. Moves up one subdirectory
-
-
- *** GRAPHIC IMAGES OF DOCUMENTS AVAILABLE BY FTP ***
-
- Graphics files with images of the original (Russian) documents
- are also available in /pub/soviet.archive/images.gif; however you
- will need a gif viewer in order to see the images.
-
- If you want to download the images:
-
- FTP seq1.loc.gov
- USERID: anonymous
- PASSWORD: your network address
- CD pub
- CD soviet.archive
- CD images.gif
- ls
- binary
- get <filename(s)> Type filename WITHOUT <>
-
-
- A gif viewer called VPIC48 is available in /pub/soviet.archive in
- zipped form along with an unzipping program, qextract.exe.
-
- General information about the Library of Congress and the Soviet
- Archives exhibit in particular are available in
- /pub/soviet.archive. These files include: about.lc (a brief
- history of the Library of Congress), conferen.log (a transcript
- of a live, online discussion held June 18, 1992 between the
- Librarian of Congress, James H. Billington, Mr. Pikhoia of the
- Russian Archives, and users of America On Line from all around
- the U.S.), and libntro (the Librarian of Congress' introduction
- to the Soviet Archives exhibit).
-
- An online brochure of the "Revelations from the Russian Archives"
- exhibit is also available in /pub/soviet.archives in two formats:
- a DOS print file called handbook.iii to be sent to a LaserJetIII
- printer, and handbook.ps to be printed to a postscript printer on
- either the DOS or Macintosh platform. Since the brochure was
- created on DOS platform, using a LaserJetIII printer, the best
- results are achieved by printing the online brochure to a
- LaserJetIII printer using the DOS copy command (copy/b filename
- lpt1).
-
-
- Good luck and enjoy the documents!
