N.N. Smirnov, Ph.D. is the Director of State Archives of Volgograd region. It has been more recently discovered that this archive contains significant Volga German resources, primarily for the Volga villages in the southern portion of the Volga Valley. While the Volga German holdings in this archive are smaller than that of Saratov and Engels, it is an important facility for the southern villages.

In the fall of 2004, Ludmilla Koretnikova generously took a small donation from the friends of the Volga Archives to Volgograd. The director wrote a lovely thank you letter.

The Volgograd Archives has Evangelical-Lutheran Church books from the following locations. Most, but not all of these books are for Volga German Villages. This does not necessarily mean that the census books for these villages are housed here also, although many well be.
