of Frontiers: Siberia, Alaska, and the American West in Global Gateway.
Meeting
of Frontiers: Siberia, Alaska, and the American West is a collaborative
project between the Library of Congress and the University of Alaska Fairbanks,
the Russian State Library, the National Library of Russia, and more than
twenty libraries, archives, and museums located in cities in Siberia and
the Russian Far East. This collection, which is presented in both English
and Russian, tells the story of the American exploration and settlement
of the West, the parallel exploration and settlement of Siberia and the
Russian Far East, and the meeting of the Russian-American frontier in
Alaska and the Pacific Northwest. Users will be able to compare and contrast
the experiences of those exploring the western frontier of America and
those setting the Russian frontier. |
