Tracking a Diaspora: Émigrés from Russia and Eastern Europe in the Repositories

Russian immigrants are one of the least studied of all the Slavic peoples because of meager collection development. Tracking a Diaspora: Emigres from Russia and Eastern Europe in the Repositories offers librarians and archivists an abundance of fresh information describing previously unrealized and little-used archival collections on Russian emigres and other nationalities from Russia and Eastern Europe. Some of these resources have been only recently acquired or opened to the public, providing rich new avenues of research for scholars and historians. This unique source provides access to greater breadth and depth of knowledge of Russian and Eastern European immigrants, their backgrounds, and their experiences coming to the United States.
