This small collection, 1871-1955, primarily in Russian, documents the military career of Russian Major General Anatole Kalichevsky
(1870-1937) and the travel diaries of his son, Vladimir Kalichevsky (1895-1958), a petroleum engineer who spent most of his
career in Texas and northern New Jersey. Examples of items relating to Anatole are his service record, military orders, his
diplomatic passport, and his New York Times obituary. Vladimir, a graduate of the California Institute of Technology, wrote
several books on petroleum engineering, three of which are in the collection. The diaries cover the years 1902-1955 and refer
