George Vernadsky Papers, 16th-20th centuries.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/320410638

Correspondence, manuscripts, documents, photographs, subject files, printed materials, and memorabilia of Vernadsky. Most of the collection consists of his personal and professional papers, ca. 1918-1973. Sizable groups of materials also concern members of his family, especially his wife Nina; his father, scientist Vladimir I. Vernadskiĭ; his mother, Natalii︠a︡ Vernadskai︠a︡; and his sister Nina V. Toll. There are also included a large number of letters by various persons written to the Vernadskiĭ's in 1888-1896 and in the 1920s and 1930s when they made visits to Europe. A number of files concern George Vernadsky's professional contacts with journals, conferences, organizations, and publishers, in the fields of Russian, Byzantine, and Asian history. Although the manuscripts consist chiefly of George Vernadsky's articles, lectures, essays, books, and notes, there are also items by others. Photographs are chiefly of George and Nina Vernadsky and their friends and relations. Subject files deal primarily with George Vernadsky's professional activities in Europe and America (for instance, "Eurasianism," the Kondakov Institute in Prague, Yale University, and various conferences and associations), and with his parents, other relatives, and many other aspects of his life and career. In addition, there are several boxes of records, primarily 16th and 17th century "stolbt︠s︡y," relating to the history of the Tambov-penza region of Russia; these appear in the collection as "Akty Tambovsko-Penzenskogo krai︠a︡." Besides many boxes of offprints, journals, clippings, and pamphlets on scholarly topics which George Vernadsky collected, printed items mostly concern his and his father's activities.

ca. 80,000 items (234 boxes; 4 oversized folders; 1 box glass negatives).
