Scope and Content
This collection contains the patents and scientific articles of Vladimir N. Ipatieff for his émigré period, as well as a significant

These materials include clippings, photographs, correspondence, speeches and writings by and about Ipatieff, and relate also

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 and copyright to
