I’m a foreigner, I would like to visit a library here in Finland. And the thing is if I use a space or a table and have my own art materials with me to do some… 118 Hello,starting point is that all services in public libraries are free of charge. Still here in Finland there are little differences how libraries run their space etc. reservation policy. This is due every city, county or region have more or less their own library networks and therefore their individual ways to organize services.  I suggest you to contact the library where you want to work at and ask about their services and space etc.. Give a call or contact service desk for some libraries don't have space to be reserved. In some libraries card is needed and in some it´s not, I´d guess depending nature of necessity and type of the space.  For a library card photo identity card is needed.Since you addressed your question here in…

Do libraries in Finland have an obituary index that I might request an obituary from the late 1800's to middle 1900's? I do not have a death date, just a name… 226 To my knowledge the libraries in Finland do not have obituary indexes. You may be able to get a photocopy of a obituary if it has been printed in a newspaper. Most libraries have their local newspapers on microfilm. I suggest you contact your library and ask them to help you through the interlibrary lending system. At first you really should try to find out the death date. It is essential if you want to find the obituary. Most libraries have access to parish records on microfilm. On the net you can find and search information about Finnish parishes: http://www.genealogia.fi/indexe.htm .

Could you… 1173 Search on the union database of the academic libraries of Finland gives several matches with the search word ”anarhia” (transliterated according to ISO 9), but none of them would seem to be the journal you are looking for. For more information, please contact the department of Russian and Slavic materials of Helsinki University, called Slavonic Library (e-mail hyk-slav@helsinki.fi , www-address http://www.lib.helsinki.fi/english/services/collections/slavonic.htm ). On the telephone they told that they don’t have any old journal called Anarhia that would date from the period of the Russian Revolution of 1917. They do have two issues of Anarhia published in 1990-91 by anarcho-syndicalists in Petrograd.
