This collection contains the patents and scientific articles of Vladimir N. Ipatieff for his émigré period, as well as a significant
amount of biographical material.
Of particular value are the biographical materials collected by Ipatieff and others describing his life and scientific achievements.
These materials include clippings, photographs, correspondence, speeches and writings by and about Ipatieff, and relate also
to his public and social activities and accomplishments, especially for the benefit of the émigré community.
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 Museum of Russian Culture. The grant also
provides depositing a microfilm copy in the Hoover Institution Archives. The original materials and copyright to them (with
some exceptions) are the property of the Museum of Russian Culture, San Francisco. 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.
