Correspondence, manuscripts, documents, photographs, subject files and printed materials of Urusov. Urusov began his diplomatic career at the Vatican, and subsequently served in Bucharest (1880-1886), Brussels (1886-1898), Paris (1898-1903), Rome (1903-1904), and Vienna (1904-1910). The collection includes letters from Thʹeophile Delcassʹe, Nikolaĭ Giers, Aleksandr Gorchakov, Aleksandr Izvolśkiĭ, Vladimir Lamzdorf, King Leopold II, Alekseĭ Tolstoĭ, and Pauline Viardot-Garcia. There is a photocopy of a poem by Pushkin. The arranged correspondence primarily concerns Urusov's professional affairs, but also includes family letters. There are manuscripts by a number of people; most (including Urusov's own) relate to Russian diplomacy. The manuscript by P.V. Vogak discusses his service with the Red Cross during World War I, and includes material by I.N. Urusova (Urusov's wife), who was a Red Cross nurse. There are a number of documents Urusov received during his diplomatic service. Among the printed materials are two folders of clippings (some of which discuss Urusov) and several booklets and pamphlets.

The memoirs, which recount L. P. Sukachev's military career from 1917 through 1947, are recorded in two versions: an abbreviated typescript text, mounted in the form of a scrapbook and interspersed with original photographs; and an amplified mimeographed version clipped from the Russian-American emigre publication "Vestnik Pervopokhodnika" (Los Angeles) where it was serialized during the 1960's. Incorporated into Sukachev's memoirs is an account by a fellow officer, Colonel Vladimir Vladimirovich Berestovskii, entitled "Russkii Otriad v Albanskoi Armii."

The collection consists primarily of Voice of America transcripts, dating from 1950-1963. (There are also six notebooks containing notes taken during interviews). The subject files include materials of "Asotsiïatsiï Ukraïnsḱykh Universytetsḱykh Z︠h︡inok na Emihratsiï." The printed materials consist of clippings with articles by Drazhevsḱa (1947-1963), brochures, periodicals and books. The later 1-box addition contains materials from 1960s and 1970s.

Typed memoirs that chiefly concern the events of 1904-05 in St. Petersburg. The longest memoir (42 p.) is entitled "Aus den Erinnerungen eines Augenzeugen: Der Blutsonntag vom 9/22 Januar in St. Petersburg: Der Pope Gapon." Gerby, at the time a Social Democrat, became acquainted with Gapon while working in workers' groups in St. Petersburg. There is also a brief French summary of the German manuscript. The other brief memoir concerns Gerby's encounters with Pavel Mili︠u︡kov in 1906 and 1940-41. Finally, there are clippings of two articles by Gerby (as A. Zherbi) from "Russkai︠a︡ Mysl"́, entitled "I︠U︡nosheskie vstrechi s Leninym.".

This is a small collection of exhibition catalogs, clippings, articles, photographs, and a few items of correspondence concerning the artist Lovis Corinth, assembled by his son, Thomas Corinth, who donated it to the Avery Library.

The collection consists of correspondence, manuscripts, case files, a few subject files, printed material and three caricature drawings of Filonenko. By far the greatest amount of material is in the form of manuscripts and case files. The manuscripts fall into two categories: notes and drafts, written in French, dealing with legal matters, and a diary, containing a large number of clippings, in which Filonenko chronicles and comments upon events in Russia, Eastern and Western Europe during the period 1918-1920. The case files, primarily from the 1930s, contain materials gathered in the process of defending his clients, chiefly Russian emigres, before the French courts. Included among these are the records of Filonenko's defense of Nadezhda Plevitskai︠a︡-Skoblin in the General Miller kidnapping trial in 1937-38.
