The Manuscript Fond within the museum’s Division of Fonds retains some personal papers of a number of Silver Age poets. These include Anna Akhmatova, M.A. Kuzmin (1872–1936), and O.E. Mandel'shtam (1891–1938) and his family. There are also personal papers of the poet, translator, photographer, and collector, L.V. Gornung (1902–1993); the art historian and head of the Engravings Division of the State Hermitage, E.G. Lisenkov (1885–1954); the Polytechnical Institute lecturer (dotsent), M.V. Latmanizov (1905–1980), who was a great admirer of the works of Akhmatova; and the French literary historian and critic, Eliane Moch-Bickert (Mok-Biker).
        The Akhmatova fond contains autograph literary manuscripts (some from the M.S. Lesman collection), her translations, biographical documents (including the honorary degree of Doctor of Literature, conferred by Oxford University in 1965), correspondence, and xerox copies of documents held in TsGALI SPb (D–18), the Manuscript Division of RNB (G–15), and in private archives.
        Among materials in the M.A. Kuzmin papers are drawings made by Kuzmin, manuscripts of his poetry, and biographical documents acquired by the museum from the Moscow collector, M.V. Tolmachev. The Mandel'shtam family fond has, for example, a collection of letters written by N.Ia. Mandel'shtam to S.M. Gluskina, L.M. Gluskina, and I.D. Amusin, as well as documents relating to the poet’s father, E.V. Mandel'shtam. There are a number of documents collected by Eliane Moch-Bickert (Mok-Biker), which relate to the Parisian period in the life and work of O.A. Glebova-Sudeikina, the heroine of Akhmatova’s “Poem Without a Hero.”
        The museum also has a collection of autograph literary manuscripts, copies of literary works and other documents from such prominent figures in the world of Russian twentieth-century culture as I.A. Brodskii, B.L. Pasternak, and P.N. Luknitskii, among others.
