My experience withThe Bridge was exemplary from start to finish. At the outset, I was able to stipulate what archives I was interested in using and to request specific files. As the researchers completed their work, my assigned research coordinator kept in regular contact with me and made the materials available right away. Using The Bridge also afforded an opportunity to have research conducted in multiple archives, including some in Siberia I might not otherwise have had time to visit. At a time when the pandemic forced me to cancel plans to travel to Russia, the research team at The Bridge allowed me to continue my research on two major projects and keep them both on schedule. I will certainly use them again!

I came across the Bridge Research Network when the Covid-19 pandemic made it impossible to travel and conduct archival research. It has been invaluable for my project to have Ivan Grek and his team help me. They are very professional - I had very specific requests in terms of what I wanted but I got a sense that they engaged with my research topic and presented their findings in a very organized way. I also really appreciated the fast reply to requests.

I have worked with The Bridge on two separate occasions. Both times, my experience was very pleasant. The staff is courteous and professional and the photos I received were perfect. Moreover, the prices were very fair. I would recommend The Bridge to anyone I know without any reservations whatsoever.

The Bridge was an invaluable resource for my dissertation research. Particularly during this precarious time in Russia for foreign scholars, working with them allowed me to maintain access to the country and accomplish collection of over 2000 responses for my sociological research. My experience with their team was an organized, efficient, and seamless one and I will happily use them again in the future!
