This collection consists mainly of the speeches, writings and lectures of George C. Guins for his émigré period.
The collection contains important biographical material, including his third person autobiography and oral history interviews.
Also of particular significance are his unpublished book manuscripts on the development of Russian history and culture, as
well as on his academic specialty - legal theory.
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.
