Russian taxicab drivers' union in France.
This collection consists mainly of clippings, along with some leaflets and a small amount of internal documentation of the
Union of Russian Taxi-Drivers in Paris in the late 1920s-early 1930s. The Union, whose membership at one point numbered in
the thousands, was a potent labor group that participated actively in the strike of 1934.
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 Library & 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 Library & Archives.
