and subscribes to roughly 100 periodicals. The library serves

Orthodox
community. About half the collection is Russian or Slavic,
approximately half of which is considered unique, being
made up of rare pre-revolutionary theological, historical,
and philological titles as well as interwar émigré
publications. The library's collection concentrates on all
areas of Slavic and Orthodox studies.

and includes rare émigré periodicals, ecclesiastical
documents, and personal papers dating to the time of the
Russian revolution and the subsequent Civil War.Currently,
the archive is closed to the public, as Holy Trinity Seminary,

project. The project is anticipated to be completed by early
