Title from container.

Microfilm reels for the opisi are designated by both Film no. and reel number and separated into three separate numbering series, corresponding to the three repositories from which the fonds were filmed. The film no. is the only unique designation of separate reels. Film numbers are never integers, but assume the form of 1.3, 3.235, etc. Reel numbers are both integers and alphanumeric designations, e.g. C.19. If a specific fond requires more than one reel for its opisi, then reel numbers are sequential until a new fond is covered. Therefore reel numbers within each repository series can be duplicated. Film nos. 1.12, 1.13, 1.988 are for fonds in the TsKhSD (T︠S︡entr khranenii︠a︡ sovremennoĭ dokumentat︠s︡ii) repository. Film nos. 2.1 through 2.55 are for fonds in the RTsKhIDNI (Rossiĭskiĭ t︠s︡entr khranenii︠a︡ i izuchenii︠a︡ dokumentov noveĭsheĭ istorii) repository. Film nos. 3.1 through 3.395 and 3.837 are for fonds in the GARF (Gosudarstvennai︠a︡ arkhivnai︠a︡ sluzhba Rossiĭskoĭ Federat︠s︡ii) repository. Note that this complex designation is not retained on the Web Site of Chadwyck Healey (as of 3/25/97). There the only designation is reel number, corresponding to film number in the above description.
