The records of the San Francisco consul general, 1852-1924, document a critical Russian post always headed by a professional diplomat. Over the years the post was held by Vladimir R. Artsimovitch, 1899- 1902; Paul Kosakevitch, 1902-9; Pierre Rogestvensky, 1909-15; A.M. de Wywodzoff, 1915-17; and George S. Romanovsky, 1917-23. The San Francisco consulate had jurisdiction over Russian subjects residing in the western states of Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming, as well as the territories of Hawaii and Alaska. Alaska was at one time a part of the Russian Empire, and the records reflect the problems of its residents who had been Russian subjects.
