- This collection contains documents of enterprises, organisations and individuals systematised by subject, chronological, sectoral and formal principles. The main sections are documents of the pre-Soviet period (until February 1917); documents of the period of revolution and civil war (February 1917-22); Soviet-era documents (1922-91); and post-Soviet documents (after 1992). In each period the following sections are highlighted: state, social and political life, economy, culture, science education, healthcare, sport, religion and nature. The internal structure of the sections depends on the availability of documents of a particular company, organisation or person. Among the materials related to Jewish history are group and individual sources. In the pre-revolutionary period the following items were deposited: a decree from the Tobolsk Exchequer on including a farmer of Yudino village cantonist "from Jews" K. Sergeyev (1861); a copy of a letter from the governor of Tomsk to the Military Governor of the Akmola region on the transfer of Eli Alexandrovich under police surveillance (1904); the passport of M.G. Rezinovsky, a peasant from Rybinskoe village in Tara county (1916); materials testifying to the active participation of Jews in the organisation of the West Siberian exhibition: copies of the bulletin issued daily during the exhibition (15 June – 27 July 1915) (typography by I.M. Posner, publisher I. M. Posner, editor M.I. Kogan); manuscripts of Jewish members of the West Siberian branch of the Imperial Russian Geographical Society S.L. Chudnovsky and M.B. Shimkin (late 19th century); and documents on the trading activity of the Jews of Omsk: a stock item of M.Y. Mariupolsky's fruit water plant (1914), letters, advertising sheets and trading accounts of Ehrlich Brothers trade house, bills of M. Levin's bookstore. There is a separate group of documents relating to the regulation of the activities of the Jewish community by the Military Council in October 1917 (a certificate of authorisation of meetings, the establishment of a bureau of assistance to Jewish refugees in the premises of the Jewish school). For the period of the Revolution and the Civil War there are the portrait and profile of the revolutionary leader Zalman Lobkov (1917). There are also Jews on the lists of prisoners in the Omsk prison during the reign of A.V. Kolchak (January 1919; copy made 1933).
