Opening hours: TuTh 10:00–17:00Transport: metro: Tret'iakovskaia, Novokuznetskaia Holdings Total: 259 fonds; over 250,000 units The Division of Manuscripts retains the museum documentary collections, part of the museum archive, and the fonds of various artistic societies. The pre-Soviet period is represented by the fonds of the Association of Itinerant Art Exhibitions (Tovarishchestvo peredvizhnykh khudozhestvennykh vystavok) (1869–1897), the Sreda Arts Society, and the Union of Russian Artists (Soiuz russkikh khudozhnikov). Postrevolutionary fonds include records from the Association of Artists of Revolutionary Russia (Assotsiatsiia khudozhnikov revoliutsionnoi Rossii—AKhRR) (1922–1932), the Society of Realist Painters (Obshchestvo khudozhnikov-realistov), and the Moscow Union of Soviet Artists (Moskovskii soiuz sovetskikh khudozhnikov). The museum has built up a number of important fonds of personal papers from both prerevolutionary and Soviet artists, as well as from art collectors and art specialists. One of the most significant is the fond of the Gallery founder, Pavel Mikhailovich Tret'iakov, which was purchased in 1937 from A.P. Botkina, and which contains a large amount of correspondence relating to the acquisition of the museum art collections. Many famous artists corresponded with Tret'iakov, as did such famous personages of Russian nineteenth-century literature and the arts as F.M. Dostoevskii, P.I. Tchaikovsky (Chaikovskii), and V.V. Stasov. There are also the fonds of the collectors A.P. Botkina-Tret'iakova, A.P. Langovoi, and M.P. Riabushinksii. Personal papers of Russian artists are for the most part represented by documents relating to artists of the peredvizhniki movement (A.M. and V.M. Vasnetsov, I.I. Levitan, M.V. Nesterov, V.D. Polenov, I.E. Repin, V.A. Serov, K.A. Savitskii, V.I. Surikov, and N.A. Iaroshenko, among others) and to members of the Abramtsevo Circle (M.A. Vrubel' and K.A. Korovin). There are also personal papers of such Soviet artists as I.E. Grabar', P.N. Filonov, and K.F. Iuon, as well as those of art specialists, directors, and staff of the State Tret'iakov Gallery (V.N. Vlasov, N.G. Mashkovtsev, and P.I. Neradovskii). The division holds a collection of autographs of Russian artists collected by I.A. Polonskii (1890–1895). There is a special fond for documentation relating to the State Tret'iakov Gallery, containing documents from the years 1893–1918. The later administrative documentation of the museum is arranged as a separate fond. It includes a large collection of questionnaires with biographical data on artists (1923–1953), which was begun by A.V. Grigor'ev. The Manuscript Division also contains photographic portraits of artists, collectors, and other persons prominent in the world of national culture, together with photographs of paintings and other works of art, but most of the photographic documents have been assigned to the separate Photograph Archive (see below). Reference facilities: There are inventory opisi of the documents in the fond. There are also catalogues of personal names.
