Annual Publications of the Arkhangelsk Provincial Statistical Committee as a Source on the Socio-Economic Development of the Arkhangelsk Province in the Period 1876–1900; [Ежегодные издания Архангельского губернского статистического комитета как источник по социально-экономическому развитию Архангельской губернии периода 1876–1900 гг.]

The article considers a group of annual publications of the Arkhangelsk Provincial Statistical Committee of the period 1876–1900. The source base of the study consists of time-based publications of the Arkhangelsk Provincial Statistical Committee of the period 1876–1900. Most of these publications are presented by the annual reports of the Arkhangelsk Provincial Statistical Committee. Besides this, the “Reference Book of the Arkhangelsk Province” and “Proceedings of the Arkhangelsk Provincial Statistical Committee” were published once, as well as the “Commemorative Books of the Arkhangelsk Province” and “Address Calendars of the Arkhangelsk Province” were occasionally published. In conclusion, the authors state that the 25th anniversary from 1876 to 1900 was marked by a significant reduction in the research work of the Arkhangelsk Statistical Committee. So, if in 1850–1875 about 90 scientific research papers were published, then in 1876–1900 their number decreased by 4 times (excluding individual publications), that is, to 22. This reduction was due to the fact that alternative and more mass-produced periodicals (for example, newspapers) began to appear in the province, which began to allocate a significant number of their strips for research works on the Arkhangelsk province. It is also important to note that in the period 1876–1900 there was a reduction in the publications published by the committee. Thus, the Arkhangelsk Collection ceases to be published, and only once in 25 years have the Reference Book of the Arkhangelsk Province and the Proceedings of the Arkhangelsk Provincial Statistical Committee been published.
