Scope and Content Note

This collection consists mainly of correspondence and printed matter relating to the activities of the A. A. Arkhangel'skii Russian Student Choir in Prague in the 1920s. Most of the correspondence is in the form of congratulations and invitations, some from well-known figures in Czechoslovakia, such as Alice Masaryk. The scrapbook contains a history of the choir and biographical information on Arkhangel'skii and successive conductors.
