Michael Rostovtzeff, Historian in Exile
Es handelt sich um den ersten Versuch, den Standort des fuhrenden Althistorikers Michael Rostovtzeff in den Jahren 1917-1941 anhand bisher unbekannter und unveroffentlichter russischer Archivalien, Briefe usw. aufzuzeigen. Nach einem einleitenden Uberblick uber die russische Welt in den Jahren ca. 1855-1915, in der der junge Rostovtzeff 1870 geboren wurde und aufwuchs, konzentriert sich die Untersuchung auf drei Themen: die Rekonstruktion des russisch-amerikanischen Personennetzwerkes, zu dem Rostovtzeff gehorte; die Frage, wie dieses Netzwerk es Rostovtzeff ermoglicht hat, fur sich selbst und fur andere Verbannte und Fluchtlinge ein neues Leben in den Vereinigten Staaten aufzubauen; die Frage, wie die Niederlage der russischen liberal-demokratischen Intelligenz in Rostovtzeffs Interpretation der Geschichte Roms ihren Niederschlag gefunden hat. (Franz Steiner 1990)

Biographical Index of Artists in Canada
This index has been compiled as a quick reference guide to biographies of 9,052 professional and amateur artists active in Canada from the seventeenth century to the present. The artists represent 42 professional categories, from animation to topography. In addition to 8,261 Canadian artists, the Index has 391 British, 300 American, and 100 European artists, all of whom spent part of their careers in Canada. Each entry provides the artist's name, date and place of birth and death (or years the artist flourished, if birth and death dates are not available), the nationality (if not Canadian), type of artist (major medium media used), and sources in which biographical information may be found. Several hundred cross-references link the various names used by some artists during the course of their careers.
