Russian Student Choir in Prague in the 1920s. Most of the correspondence is in the form of congratulations and invitations,
some from well-known figures in Czechoslovakia, such as Alice Masaryk. The scrapbook contains a history of the choir and biographical
information on Arkhangel'skii and successive conductors.

Endowment for the Humanities and by matching funds from the Hoover Institution and Museum of Russian Culture. The grant also

Culture, San Francisco as its property. A transfer table indicating corresponding box and reel numbers is available at the
