Scope and Content of Collection

This collection contains the papers of Viktor Andreevich Konovalov, a self-proclaimed missionary of Canada in emigration, and later a Russian Orthodox monk and abbot of the Pokrov Skete in Bluffton, Alberta, Canada. Konovalov's rich Correspondence includes letters to and from prominent hierarchs of the Russian diaspora, located throughout the world, and provides a significant source for information on Russian Orthodoxy in North America in the Interwar years as well as in the immediate aftermath of World War II. In addition, Konovalov's papers present a valuable record of the functioning and economic struggles of the Pokrov Skete in Alberta, Canada.

The Speeches and Writings file reflects the personal interests of Fr. Amvrosii, which included eschatological research as well as studies of holy fathers and church history. The Subject File materials relating to the history of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia, including an almost complete collection of "Tserkovnyia viedomosti," the official ecclesiastical periodical of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia during the Interwar years.
