Scope and Content Note
This collection consists of materials relating to the history of the Bogoroditse-Vladimirskaia zhenskaia obitel' (convent)
in Harbin and Shanghai, China, and San Francisco, California. There are also biographical materials relating to Abess Rufina,
Ariadna's predecessor, who founded the convent in Harbin in 1924 and led it through its first 13 years (Rufina died in Shanghai
in 1937). The convent remained in the care of Abess Ariadna through the Second World War, evacuation from China and reestablishment
in San Francisco in 1948.
Detailed processing and preservation microfilming for these materials were made possible by a generous grant from the National
Endowment for the Humanities and by matching funds from the Hoover Institution and Museum of Russian Culture. The grant also
provides depositing a microfilm copy in the Hoover Institution Archives. The original materials remain in the Museum of Russian
Culture, San Francisco as its property. A transfer table indicating corresponding box and reel numbers is available at the
