Most important projects in ROSPHOTO are the ones that unite exhibition with research. Such projects make progress not only in expositional work but also in scientific research. Moreover, they often result in publications that regard photography from the angle of history and art history. Among most important examples of such exhibitions are "Views of Crimea" by Vassily Sokornov, an outstanding landscape photographer, and "French Photography from the Archive of the Institute of Material Culture at the Russian Academy of Sciences".
Such projects, bearing an undoubted scientific value, are usually conducted by ROSPHOTO in collaboration with the Russian National Library (St.-Petersburg), Musee d'Orsay (Paris), European Institute of Restoration and Graphics (Paris), Musee de l'Elysee (Lausanne, Switzerland) and other important research and museum centres.
