Title: International Brigades Archive, Moscow [graphic] : selected images, 1937-1938.

Among the subjects represented are group photographs and portraits of members of the International Brigades (including British, Dimitrov, Dombrowski, Lincoln-Washington and MacKenzie Papineau Battalions), International Brigades training, life in camp, leisure activities, International Brigades Band, Spanish Republican military leaders, Communist Party leaders (including Earl Browder), distinguished visitors such as Langston Hughes and George Orwell (Eric Blair), and a photo album compiled by Major Stefanovich prior to the Brunete offensive. Although these photographs were not the work on the unit specifically designated to record activity of the English-speaking units, there are a substantial number of images of U.S. and Canadian volunteers included. Each file folder has a descriptive title provided by the International Brigades Archive. Caption information comes from an English translation of the Guide to the International Brigade Archives (Moscow) commissioned by ALBA for their own use. Some proper names have been corrected or expanded, and some abbreviations have been expanded. The Moscow guide provided descriptive captions for some images, but many are without caption information. Entries in the box and folder list begin with a file number and title (bold type), followed by a complete listing of image numbers in that file. Individual captions for those images that have caption information follow. Four-hundred-and-twenty-five (425) photographs are attributed to Yugoslavian volunteer, Major Vladimir Stefanovich. Folder 5 (5/179) contains 195 of his photographs and folder 22 (5/196) contains 230 of his photographs. The remaining 623 images are not credited to a photographer. The negatives have been printed on 5 x 7 inch sheets with 3 or 4 images per sheet.
