The society published the magazine, Evreyskaya Starina, in 1908-30 and arranged an expedition to regions where Jews had settled down in 1911-14. The materials it collected formed the basis of the Museum of the Jewish Historical and Ethnographic Society opened at 50 Fifth Line of Vasilievsky Island in 1916. After October 1917, the society published a collection of documents, Materials for the History of Anti-Jewish Pogroms in Russia, in 1919-23.
