Perhaps the best approach is to employ the services of a professional historian.

To a historian, *The Gulag Archipelago* is just one more historical document to be assessed alongside all the other available evidence. A historian might compare the documents Solzhenitsyn's chose to use in his book against other, similar documents to see if there is any bias, while also considering that the documents themselves might be biased and Solzhenitsyn's choices might be correcting for that bias. The historian might also compare Solzhenitsyn's personal account against administrative records, diaries and the accounts of other survivors of the gulag system.

Ultimately, history is uncertain, and it might be impossible to reach any firm conclusions about the historical accuracy of Solzhenitsyn's writings.
