DOI 10.1163/22138617-12340096
Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

In this article the author presents an analysis of the history of the “Proceedings” of the Orenburg Scientific Archive Commission (osac) as a historical source. In the course of the thirty years of its activities, the osac has done great work sorting out of archival files of the Orenburg Governor-General’s office and the archives of other institutions of the province, as well as of the archival institutions in other regions. From the beginning the osac’s members were engaged in active scientific-research work and publication of sources. By the efforts of the osac activists, 35 volumes of “Proceedings” have been published.
