Fisher, Elena A. Varneck, Ivan I. Serebrennikov, and Robert V. Smith. The collection of documents, diaries, reports, books, and periodicals focuses on two broad topics: the Russian civil war in Siberia and the Far East, and the history of the Chinese Eastern Railway. The problems involved in collecting materials connected to events that recently occurred largely centered around money (especially the lack of it) and trying to decide whose materials were the most valuable. http://hdl.handle.net/10125/13360 Title: The Antikythera Mechanism<br/><br/>Author(s): Wynn-Williams, Gareth<br/><br/>Abstract: Professor Gareth Wynn-Williams will lecture on the ancient Greek enigma, "The Antikythera Mechanism."
