century manuscripts and 1,000 reels of 19th and early 20th century Russian

and Russian textbooks.
The IU Economics Department features a unique archive on the second
economy in former Soviet-type economies, donated by Professor Gregory
Grossman, Professor Emeritus of Economics (University of California,
Berkeley). The archive consists of research papers, newsletter clippings,
interview notes and tapes, as well as other materials related to the
underground economy and legal private economic activities in the former
USSR and other socialist countries. Most of the materials cover the
period of the 1970s and 1980s and are in either Russian or English.
Part of the archive is housed in the student lounge of the Economics
department (Wylie Hall 329), with the rest being stored in the IU warehouse.
