Thanks, Philip! I've just corrected both.

All corrections have been made. Further remarks will be appreciated.

"List of 416 photos (1905 г.)"
Probably just (1905)?

There should be unified name for Ekaterinburg. On some photos is Yekaterinburg, on some Ekaterinburg.
Same with Iurezanskii-Yuryuzansky, Ialutorovsk-Yalutorovsk, etc.

I thank you for all your corrections in the English part, it will surely make the site even more popular among non-russian visitors!

The question with unification is not so easy one. We prefer to use titles of the Library of Congress, but its specialists used transliteration with ie-, ia-, iu-, etc. In all another cases, when we make our own translation, we use generally accepted in the world transliteration with ye-, ya-, yu-, etc.
So, we chose compromise settlement.
Ekaterinburg is surely wrong transliteration.

Thanks for clarification regarding transliteration!

Here few more "drops":
In catalogue (both actual and of 1913) is Samarkamd (various views) and Samarkamd (Shakh-Zinde).

Suvalda village (abandoned for now). Firstly there is no such information on Russian version (about being abandoned). But if it really was, more suitable would be "uninhabited" or simply "abandoned".
Similiar with Podporozhe village (town for now).

"Museum of Rostov Velikii", maybe Rostov Velikii - Museum would fit better, so it would all be listed by "R", not "M"?

In 1913 catalogue, some of the regions have "province" with capital P, some not.

I've been nitpicking a lot of details, that's all I can think of now.

I have corrected all, exept "Podporozhe village (town for now)". What is wrong with it?

By the way, Philip, is there formal distinction between "Hill" and "Mountain" in English?

I am glad the corrections proved usefull.

Regarding Podgorozhe:My original concern was that there is "now submerged" and "town for now".
But honestly I don't really think it really matters if its "town now", "now town", "town for now" or even something different. That's why I wrote in start I was picking details because the core of the website is flawless! It isn't spelled wrongly or anything and well.. english grammar and phrases were never really my cup of tea.


Formal difference between hill and mountain...
Quote from wikipedia, because it characterises the best way it can.

So it is basically along the lines of Gora being mountain and Gorka/Kholm hill. Those are the usual formal differences, but sometimes because of historical names, hill is called mountain and vice versa.

Thanks. Philip. I used to translate Gora as Mountain, but the practice of LoC for PG's titles is quite controvercial. It seems that translator was looking at pictures and chose subjectively between Hill and Mountain.
Александровская сопка was translated as Alexander Mount. So, we have three variants.
