PRINCETON UNIVERSITY LIBRARY
-FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


September 16, 1998

The Manuscripts Division of Princeton University Library's
Department of Rare Books and Special Collections and the
Office of the Slavic Bibliographer (Reference and Collection
Development) are pleased to announce the online publication
of the finding aid to the Osip Mandelshtam papers.

The papers of Osip Mandelshtam (1891-1938) include five boxes
of manuscripts and drafts of his poems, reviews, articles, and
essays, principally from the period 1915-37. Many manuscripts
are in the hand of Nadezhda Mandelshtam (1899-1980),
who donated her husband's papers to Princeton University
together with a selected correspondence of her own.

The detailed finding aid which provides item-level description
of manuscripts, correspondence, and other materials in the papers,
as well as a history of the collection and how it came to Princeton
can be found at
