While most researchers hunt for your data only on the English language portion of the Worldwide Web (WWW), now you can get it from the Russian-language side of the Web, too.  The vast paper resources of the Library of Congress, the National Archives, and many other information repositories you personally cannot visit yourself or find time to explore may be searched, too.

Not only will you have the information you are seeking but, if you wish, it  can  be analyzed and reports written for you.  You can even have information in database format, where appropriate.

Just about every other research service that  mines data on the Web looks for marketing or sales opportunities.  Roy's Resources is for those other databases, histories, chronicles, or accounts that you need for whatever purpose:  report for your job; background for a novel; databases for analysis; analysis of historic events; resources for undergraduate or postgraduate research; and more.

E-mail your proposal to roy@royfc.com for the Web, library,  archive or other repository research services, analysis, or reports that you require. If it's there, it will be found! 

Your privacy remains protected.  Please take a look at Roy's Resource's privacy statement.

Terms of Service

Within the scope of your query, Roy Cochrun will be held blameless in the event the response does not satisfy you.  While every effort is made to provide the precise answer it is understood that you require, it is agreed that your question is not a test.  It is an attempt to uncover information that you need for whatever purpose.  The answer you want and the answer provided may not be the same thing because the available facts or data do not support it.  Roy's Research Resource and Roy Cochrun cannot be held liable for that disparity. 

How you use the information after it is provided is up to you.  Neither Roy's Research Resource  nor Roy Cochrun can be held liable for any consequences in the use of this information.
