In late 1918 about 5,000 troops from units of the U.S. Army’s 85th Division, which was composed largely of men from Michigan and Wisconsin, were shipped from England to Archangel, Russia. There they joined an international force commanded by the British that were fighting the Bolsheviks, who had taken power in Moscow and St. Petersburg the previous winter. For many years the Michigan Historical Collections actively collected the personal papers of officers and enlisted men who participated in that intervention. This is a guide to papers, photos, maps and printed materials in the collection.
