Welcome

The Russian American Cultural Center is a non-profit educational corporation devoted to the historical research and cultural programming that promote mutual understanding and appreciation between Russians and Americans. The center is devoted to providing access to available humanitarian resources that help individuals and families with ties from Russia participate effectively in their communities.

The Russian American Cultural Center offers a multitude of services for people interested in all things Russian. From translating and research, to language classes and travel services, the RACC can help - or at least help connect you with the proper resources and experts. The following is just a short list of services that the Center provides: business translations (legal documents, adoption papers, birth certificates, diplomas, etc.); research - historical and contemporary; genealogical services; loan of artifacts; imigrant networking; travel services, trip planning and consulting; language classes - Russian and English tutoring; celebrations and parties in observance of Russian holidays; lectures, talks, concerts, etc.

For over 18 years the Russian American Cultural Center has played a significant role in the cultural life of Boston's vibrant and diverse Russian-speaking community. Tireless director Margaret "Peggy" Coleman has almost single-handedly built the center from a modest room on Atlantic Avenue's historic Russia Wharf to a busy, multi-resource center on Tyler street. The Center welcomes everyone - from people in the community and tourists to the city to Russians who are visiting or residing in this country and need a cultural refuge, a place where their traditions, values and language are understood. The Center is a place where the samovar is always warm and visitors are treated to Peggy's unique brand of Russian-American hospitality.
