Russian-American historical association.
This collection contains the records of the Russkoe istoricheskoe obshchestvo v Amerikie (Russian Historical Society in America).
Its founder and first president was A. P. Farafontov (1937-1940). The second president of the Society was an engineer, Mikhail
Dem'ianovich Sedykh (1940-1948). The records consist their correspondence, writings and other materials collected by them
in the course of the organization's activities, which included aid in the restoration of Fort Ross, California, celebrations
honoring the 200
th anniversary of the European discovery of Alaska (1941), and other cultural events. Also present are writings and correspondence
by prominent émigrés, such as A. A. Kersnovskii, P. V. Shkurkin, S. G. Svatikov, and others. Almost all the records of the
collection date from 1933 to 1948, but the scrapbook on M. D. Sedykh (Office File/Members' papers/Sedykh) expands the temporal
bounds to those shown in the series description.
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.
The Hoover Institution assumes all responsibility for notifying users that they must comply with the copyright law of the
United States (Title 17 United States Code) and Hoover Rules for the Use and Reproduction of Archival Materials.
