This collection contains the papers of the noted theoretician of cooperative economics, Ivan V. Emel'ianov. Most of the collection
consists of his writings on cooperative issues and correspondence relating to his scholarly and social activities while in
Czechoslovakia (1921-1927) and the United States (1927-1945). Special mention should be made of the correspondence and research
material for his dissertation, subsequently published as
The Economic Theory of Cooperation. Correspondence and subject file material also illustrate his involvement in Russian émigré organizations of an educational
and social character in both countries. There is also a set of documents pertaining to his activities during the Russian Civil
War, when he represented cooperative organizations in Europe.
Many of Emel'ianov's publications are printed copies that include the entire issue of the periodicals they appeared in, which
are very often themselves bibliographic rarities. A printed matter series, which includes a significant number of rare publications
on cooperative issues by other authors, supplements Emel'ianov's own work in this field.
His wife, Nataliia Emel'ianova, was a chemist by profession, and the collection contains a number of her scientific publications,
as well as biographical information and correspondence detailing her involvement in émigré life.
Detailed processing and preservation microfilming for these materials were made possible by a generous grant from the National
