Doukhobor Collection of Simon Fraser University

Doukhobor Collection of Simon Fraser University

A collection of digitized images, print materials, and ephemera relating to the settlement of the Doukhobors in Canada, primarily in the late 19th and early 20th century. During this time period, thousands of Doukhobors fled religious persecution in their native Ukraine. This collection, focusing on their settlement in Canada, includes a variety of scanned manuscripts, photographs, books and book chapters, journals, magazine articles, financial documents and interviews dating from 1898 to 1975. Many items in Russian are accompanied by complete English-language translations; other items, including publications from the Doukhobor community and photographs with Russian inscriptions, are not translated.
