This collection was created by Baronessa Marii͡a Vrangel', mother of Baron Petr Nikolaevich Vrangel', last commander of the
White Army, as a memorial to the cultural, academic and social contributions of the so-called first Russian emigration. This
group was formed by individuals who emigrated from Russia after the defeat of the White Movement in the early 1920s and included
many prominent representatives of the cultural and political elite of Imperial Russia.

printed matter relating to Russian émigré activities following the Russian Revolution and Civil War, including political,

M. D. Vrangel'.
The collection incorporates a great variety of material, including biographical information which Baronessa Vrangel' solicited
from individuals, as well as organizations active in the émigré community, personal correspondence, short biographies and
