The author gives an overview of reorganization of the Slavic Collection of the Library of Congress in 1941-1957. In that period its employees, being supported by both state authorities and private funds, established constant links with the Soviet book trade organizations, began to coordinate similar book exchange programs of other American research centers, developed the effective reference service. The largest Slavic collection outside Russia was created as a result of the reforms.
