An artificial collection consisting of copy negatives made from images in the International Brigades Archive, which forms part of the Comintern Archives which is housed at the Russian State Archive of Socio-Political History in Moscow. The Moscow IB Archive is comprised of documents and other materials transported to the Soviet Union by Soviet authorities at the conclusion of the Spanish Civil War. Series 5 within IB Archive (Fond 545) is comprised of photographs taken in Spain from 1937 to 1938 by various photographers associated with the International Brigades. The only identified photographer for any of the images in this group is a Yugoslavian volunteer, Major Vladimir Stefanovich. In the mid-1990s, as part of preparations for the ALBA-sponsored traveling photograph exhibit, representatives of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade Archives Board of Governors visited the International Brigade Archives in Moscow and selected the images for which copy negatives would be made.
