Thanks.  I agree that the collections you mentioned have great potential to
make comparisons.  I hope to do some ongoing work with my students and Russian
students and the work I started last year with the Life History collection and
students collection of oral history.  I am beginning to believe that I will
have many eye-opening experiences in looking at history in a place where there
has been no history for some time.  I will keep you posted. Laura
