Scope and Content Note
Rostislav V. Polchaninov was a prominent figure in the Russian scouting movement in exile. This collection contains his correspondence,
writings and subject files, mostly connected to the Russian Boy Scouts and collecting Russian stamps.
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 remain in the Museum of Russian
Culture, San Francisco as its property. A transfer table indicating corresponding box and reel numbers is available at the
Hoover Institution Archives.
