Catherine A. Gumensky was a California artist of local note. The collection contains materials relating to her work as an
artist and other biographical data, as well as her children's stories. Of particular significance is the family file, which
contains a large amount of correspondence (of Catherine, her mother Neonila Platonovna Aristova, and others) with family members
in the Soviet Union and other countries from the 1920s through the 1980s, as well as writings of other family members.
Detailed processing and preservation microfilming for these materials were made possible by a generous grant from the National
Endowment for the Humanities and by matching funds from the Hoover Institution and the Museum of Russian Culture. The grant
also provides depositing a microfilm copy in the Hoover Institution Archives. The original materials remain in the Museum
of Russian Culture, San Francisco, as its property. A transfer table indicating corresponding box and reel numbers is available
at the Hoover Institution Archives.
