Roland M. Baumann,an archivist adjunct professor of history at Oberlin College, Ohio, and a leading authority on administering access to confidential government records, is one of only two U.S. archivists invited to examine archives in the U.S.S.R. this fall through the terms of a new protocol with the Soviet Union that also inaugurates cooperation between the two countries in genealogical research. Joining Baumann will be Marie Allen, deputy director of the N ational Archives’ Intergovernmental Records Project. In the first two weeks of October they will visit archives in Moscow, Leningrad, and Riga to become familiar with techniques of appraisal, selection, and acquisition in the Soviet Union’s government archives. A Soviet archivist and historian are expected to visit the U.S. in October 1990.

Formerly chief of the Division of Archives and Manuscripts at the Pennsylvania Museum Commission, Baumann frequently serves as an archival consultant, and he is the author of numerous professional articles, including a 1986 article in the American Archivist urging a model law for administering access to confidential records in government archives. The article grew out ofhis participation in the Research Fellowship Program for Study of Modern Archives funded in 1985 by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and the Earhart Foundation of Ann Arbor, Michigan.

The Soviet visit is an activity of the newly created U.S.-U.S.S.R. Commission on Archival Cooperation (CAC) of the American Council of Learned Societies and the Main Archival Administration of the U.S.S.R. Council of Ministers; CAC is administered in the U.S. by IREX. United States Archivist Don W. Wilson and F edor M. Baganov, chief of the Main Archival Administration of the U.S.S.R. Council of Ministers, signed a joint agreement of archival cooperation for 1989-90 at an April 18 ceremony in the U.S.S.R. The CAC is designed to promote professional development and cooperation between the two countries while increasing access for all researchers to all materials held in archives. While in the U.S.S.R., Wilson returned to the Soviet government the first two boxes of the original files of the Imperial Russian consulates in North America. The remainder of the 400 boxes will be returned totheU.S.S.R. in the course of the year.
