      Location: Rare Book & Manuscript Library, Butler Library, 6th Floor, Columbia University, 535 West 114th Street, New York, NY 10027

      Description: Ignat Arkhipovich Bilyĭ (1887-1973) was Supreme Ataman of the Cossack National Liberation Movement (Kazaché Natsionalńo-Osvoboditelńoe Dvizhenie - KNOD). The papers consist of correspondence, manuscripts, documents, subject files, newspaper clippings, printed materials, photographs, and drawings. Most of the correspondence concerns Bilyĭ's activities as Ataman, and the journal "Kazak"; other correspondence is personal or relates to the activities of anti-Communist groups (such as the Anti-Bolshevik Bloc of Nations - ABN). The manuscripts include articles, reminiscent drafts of appeals and proclamations, and speeches mostly concerning the Cossack movement, Cossack history, and the anti-Communist movement. The documents mostly concern KNOD and related organizations for the period ca. 1955-70; a few relate to the Cossacks in 1919-45. The subject files contain newspaper clippings, printed materials, notes, and correspondence relating to KNOD, ABN, "Kazak", Ukrainian-Cossack relations, and the Vlasov Movement. The newspaper clippings are mostly from Russian and Ukrainian émigré publications. Printed materials include a set of "Kazak" and ephemera of KNOD, ABN, and similar organizations. There are a few photographs showing Bilyĭ in Cossack dress and also various Cossack émigré organization activities. The paintings and drawings include portraits of Mr. and Mrs. Bilyĭ in national dress (his Cossack, hers Czech), other Cossack leaders, Cossack heraldry, and a map of "Cossackia."

      [0299] Bimetallism and Currency Reform collection, 1872-1909, MSBCR_75

      Location: Daley Library Special Collections and University Archives, University of Illinois at Chicago, 801 S. Morgan St., Room 3-330, Chicago, IL 60607

      Description: Bimetallism is a monetary standard or system based upon the use of two metals, traditionally gold and silver. With the exception of Britain, which adopted the gold standard in 1798, most countries practiced bimetallism during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. A bimetallic system defined a nation's monetary unit by law in terms of fixed quantities of gold and silver, automatically establishing a rate of exchange between the two metals. Bimetallism ended in the United States in 1873 when the Grant administration demonetized silver. However, the depression following the Panic of 1873 caused some people, particularly coalitions of farmers and silver miners to call for the return of silver as a form of currency. This collection contains correspondence, publications, speeches, clippings, photographs, and pamphlets about currency reform, bimetallism, and the American Bimetallic Union.
