Below you will find research resources organized by geographic area. This list of sources cannot by any means be viewed as comprehensive. The focus on these pages is on the use of guides and research strategies. Where particular sources are of special significance they will be described in detail. The selection of sources has been based on experience gathered over years of answering reference questions by the Slavic Reference Service.
This guide was made possible by the generous support of the U.S. Department of State Title VIII program. We extend our special gratitude to Ms. Barbara Bułat of the Jagiellonian University Library, Krakόw, for her significant contributions to the Polish section. Should you have any suggestions for reference materials to be added to the guides, please contact the Slavic Reference Service at srscite@library.illinois.edu
