ARCHAEOGRAPHICAL COMMITTEE, a scientific institution established under the Ministry of Public Education in 1834 to publish materials collected by the Archaeographical Expedition of the Academy of Sciences in 1829-32 with historian and archaeographer P. M. Stroev at the head. It has been working permanently since 1837. Members of the committee were appointed by the minister of public education and the chairman with the emperor’s approval until 1917. The committee held its meetings at 5 Nadezhdinskaya Street (today, Mayakovskogo Street). It published a number of multivolume collections of documents on the Russian history of the 13th to 17th centuries. The committee was handed over to the Academy of Sciences in 1922 and merged with other scientific institutions after 1931. It resumed its activities in Moscow in 1956 with a Leningrad branch established simultaneously, renamed as the St. Petersburg Branch of the Archaeographical Committee in 1991. The branch has been publishing a collection of Auxiliary Historical Disciplines since 1968.
