Napoléon, Sa Famille et Son Entourage: Documents du Musée<br />
Historique d’État, Moscou<br />
1769 - 1850<br />
A little-known but historically important collection of more than 2,500 Napoleonic documents held in the archives of<br />
the State Historical Museum of Moscow is now being offered on microfilm. These documents were scattered<br />
throughout the Museum‘s various collections; most of them had never been published. Now available are some 30<br />
letters and documents in Napoléon‘s own hand or containing his signature, approximately 100 documents written or<br />
signed by Napoléon‘s own family members and more than 2,400 documents from his military and political<br />
entourage. The documents now on microfilm come from collections originally assembled both by private collectors<br />
and institutions which acquired individual items from many sources. The two largest groups of documents come<br />
from the private collections of Count Grigorii Vladimirovich Orlov and the well-known art collector Petr Ivanovich<br />
Shchukin. The collection provides a more complete understanding of Napoléon, his time and his circle and is an<br />
important contribution to Napoleonic research.<br />
