Outline of Final Research Achievements

Focusing on the phenomenon of records migration, the accumulation process and the characteristics of the archival heritage of "Russia Abroad" have been examined. As a result, it was affirmed that the concept of "the displaced archives" has been greatly shaped by national self-consciousness and the associated notion of the nation-state. It was also clarified that the process of preserving historical records of "Russia Abroad" has undergone institutional, ideological, and socio-political transformations that determined the division and reintegration of the archival fonds. Through this study, it was established also that the archival heritage of "Russia Abroad" has greatly contributed to the formation of Russian national self-consciousness. A basic logical framework for analyzing "national archives" and "diaspora archives," and for considering the phenomenon of migration and dispersion of records and archives has been worked out.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

「在外ロシア」の記録遺産を事例にして、歴史記録の「移動」という現象を検討し、記録の「分散」と「再集合」の仕組みや社会的な意義について理解を深めた。本研究は「国民的アーカイブズ」及び「ディアスポラ・アーカイブズ」のもつ意義を際立たせ、国民国家論を超える在外ロシアのアーカイブズの特異性を明示した。「機関アーカイブズ」（institutional archives）が着目されやすい今日、典型的な「収集アーカイブズ」（collecting archives）である在外ロシアの諸機関の構想・活動は収集・保存への姿勢の重要性を物語り、今後のあるべきアーカイブズの在り方への大きなヒントを与えている。
