 UMI :: Vedomosti - Provincial Government and Church Newspapers from Pre-Revolutionary Russia.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
The gubernskie vedomosti were pre-revolutionary local governmental newspapers published throughout the Russian Empire largely between 1838 and 1917 (although a few titles were issued through 1920).
In 75 cities gubernskie vedomosti were the only newspapers available for periods ranging from 10 to 30 years.  They were thus the centers of the development of culture, science and education in the district and are tremendously important for modern researchers.
Material from the gubernskie vedomosti has been used over the years in many scholarly works in history, economics and philology, with many researchers making use of the excellent collection of gubernskie vedomosti in the National Library of Russia in St. Petersburg.
