Good people work there, I came with a request, they said the terms are such, the price is such, but first call on the phone and ask. I called and was told that there is no such information, do not waste time and money on a request

I put a strong 3 . I will not judge the employees, I do not know their amount of work, But we need to be more attentive and polite with readers / visitors. The queue needs to be improved. In the 21st century, recording is done by phone and a month in advance, and sometimes there is no recording. The foundation? Why don't you write it down or do you need to complain to higher authorities? The archive works only until 17:00 on a weekday, when many work until 17-18:00, here it is necessary for the authorities to work on a schedule, the need of readers should be closed. I understand that it is a repair, but the reader should not suffer.

A good archive, a good, friendly team, but a heavy workload and because of this long queues for 2-3 weeks. The reading rooms are small.

I will not talk about the disadvantages of this institution, the people who visit it already know about them. I would like to thank the archive's specialists for their steadfastness and bravery in such a harsh time.

Very sincere and responsive staff, there are no queues. If you are looking for documents for relatives, you can just safely go during working hours, they will help and explain. Then they will review the request and, if the required documents are available, they will issue an invoice. A separate service is a complete genealogical study, but it is provided in a package - a couple of times a year they collect a set of applications and perform them in bulk

The archive that attracts the attention of the largest number of users. There is a record for working in the reading room, which solves the problem of lack of places. The staff will help you figure out how to find information and work with funds.

Almost a year ago, I signed up for the NIAB reading room and since then I have discovered many new names and several surnames in our family family.
The reading room is open by appointment, if you want to visit it for the first time, check out the rules on the NIAB website (everything is described in detail and clearly there).
Of the disadvantages, since I am a nonresident and come by car, there is no parking space on working days, although you can park on Saturday without problems.

Thanks to the employees for their sensitivity and attention. We were traveling from far away, there was little time, but we wanted to learn more about the family). They found something. We recorded a long time ago. The thrill of historical sheets with monograms and seals. History...

It's been a long time, it's unclear. Probably so in all archives. For a beginner, this is darkness…

If you do not pay attention to the work schedule (ordering cases for a month and a half in advance), then the norms. The staff helps to sort out the catalogs, they do not stand over the soul. An electronic recording would be nice, not over the phone.

I was in the reading room - the room is very small, cramped. Strict rules as in the USSR. The staff is good and friendly.

The story is felt even in the employees. Some are polite, and some are as if they were uncovered and taken out from the 70s
