The “Unpublished Documents” collection is an assemblage of unpublished works by different authors stored at the Russian State Library. Depositing (transferring to the storage) remains one of the ways for authors to publish their works and thus to set their priority. Depositing presupposes a work to be accepted, accounted and stored in the electronic form with a capability to be accessed by users via library’s electronic resource.

Any author of a scientific, literary or artistic work can contact the RSL Depositing department of intellectual property objects to have their work transmitted, with consequent receiving a deposit-certificate in future.

The collection as it is nowadays encompasses poetry and prose, child works and memoirs, research works and dissertations prepared for the defence procedure, as well as a wide range of other documents including those ones created in foreign languages.

The documents of the collection are all in open access.
