Russian and East European Book and Manuscript Collections
in the United States
October 11 - 13, 2001

The conference, sponsored by the Bakhmeteff Archive of Russian and East
European Literature and Culture of Columbia University and supported by
the Slavic Division of the New York Public Library, will bring together
literary scholars, historians, librarians, archivists and members of the
general public to discuss the written and printed legacy of the Slavic
heritage in the United States. The conference, which coincides with the
50th anniversary of the founding of the Bakhmeteff Archive, is intended to
open a broad discussion on the problem of integrating the history and
holdings of Slavic collections into the overall history of the American
society as well as into the history of the Russian-American cultural
heritage.
