In order to obtain access to archives in Tajikistan, foreign nationals should submit a written application on site. It will be best if they have a ready official letter from their institution describing their goal and subject of the research. The access to the archives could be very problematic and policies change from time to time. It is advised to have someone from the local Academy of Science to write a recommendation letter to the archive. It is strongly advised to contact the archive in advance. Written permission is given by the director of the archive and good for one calendar year. There are no archival guides available online and only few printed available on site, but they are very limited and fragmental.
