  Edited by Leszek Pudlowski, Iván Székely. Open Society Archives at Central European University, 1999. 206 p.
  As a part of its efforts to get closer and more visible to the public, the Open Society Archives (OSA) has published a book about itself. Not conceived by its authors, the staff archivists, as a conventional guide to the Archives, the book tells the story of OSA, its holdings and their pre-history, and gives an insight into its most interesting materials. The description is combined with practical information on research possibilities and public programs that OSA offers.

Reference Information Papers (RIP)

Reference Information Papers (RIP), compiled by staff archivists, are thematic finding aids aiming to guide researchers to all the relevant archival materials at OSA that relate to a certain topic. RIPs are cross-sectional digests of OSA’s holdings and typically cover several countries. Issues of the RIP series are published irregularly, and always reflect the status quo of the holdings. The catalogue entries indicate the exact fonds reference, date span, approximate quantity, and, occasionally, medium of the records.
