This collection contains the papers of Antonina Romanovna von Arnold, as well as papers relating to and produced by her father,
mother, sister, brother, and other family members. Of particular interest are von Arnold's diaries and her untitled family
chronicle (SPEECHES AND WRITINGS, Box 12). Together with the material in her biographical file and correspondence, these provide
an in-depth view of the personal experience of a Russian immigrant in the United States. The FAMILY FILE contains the reminiscences
of von Arnold's father, Roman Apollonovich, the police chief of Harbin, and materials on the career and life of his wife,
Ekaterina Khristoforovna, founder and principal of the Harbin Dental College. Also of importance are the papers of von Arnold's
second husband, the artist Sergey Scherbakoff (SERGEY SCHERBAKOFF FILE).
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.
