Correspondence, manuscripts, documents, photographs, subject files and printed materials of Vostrotin. The correspondence dates from 1919 to 1942.

Among the subjects he treats in his memoirs are: the building of the Chinese-Eastern railroad, gold mining along the Eniseĭ River in Siberia, the creation of the North Sea route, various Siberian explorations, the Civil War in the Far East, and Russian emigration to the Far East, with reference to the Russian newspaper "Russkiĭ golos" in Harbin, of which Vostrotin was editor of the 1920's. There are a few documents and subject files relating to the same topics. The printed materials contain several dozen maps.
