AHSGR is dedicated to the discovery, collection, preservation and dissemination of information related to the history, cultural history and genealogy of the Germanic settlers in the Russian Empire and their descendants. Some of the information is available in the AHSGR Library – both online or at our headquarters.
Our library archive contains the largest collection of German Russian research information in the Western Hemisphere. It continues to grow as new materials are constantly added. Some titles are available for inter-library loans. An exciting part of the collection is the translated records from the Russian Archives. Many of the research items have been published and may be purchased from the AHSGR store or from a private researcher.
Other materials listed can be examined at AHSGR headquarters in Lincoln, Nebraska. They have been acquired by bequest, purchase, gift, accepted on loan or the publication has been funded by AHSGR. Research appointments can be made by calling 402-474-3363 and scheduled according to availability of the library and archives. The Library Archive is open Monday – Friday 9-4 and appointments for research must be scheduled in advance, in order to ensure you will receive adequate assistance and time to do your research.
