Scope and Content of Collection
These papers reflect the writings and research interests of Vladislav Al'bionovich Maevskii, church historian and theologian.
Among his writings are works relating to late 19th and early 20th century history of the Eastern Orthodox Church, especially
relating to Russian Orthodoxy, Mount Athos, and the Orthodox Church in the United States.
In emigration, Maevskii attended Belgrade University's theological faculty, and served as secretary to Patriarch Varnava (Rosich),
and librarian of the Patriarchal library. As a result, Maevskii's scholarly activities included numerous topics relating to
the Serbian Orthodox Church.
After arriving in the United States, Vladislav Maevskii became a member of the faculty of St. Tikhon's Orthodox Theological
Seminary in South Canaan, PA. This appointment allowed Maevskii to focus on the history as well as contemporary issues of
the Orthodox Church in the United States.
The correspondence file represents Maevskii's close contact with ecclesiastical figures, academicians, scholars, and representatives
of the Russian émigré intelligentsia.
Maevskii's speeches and writings focus largely on his major research interests, and include drafts, notes, and typescripts
of both published and unpublished works. Aside from topics relating to Church history, included are works on Rasputin, Russian
and Serbian relations, and general topics relating to Russian history and Orthodox theology.
The Subject File includes materials on the history of the Russian Orthodox Church and especially on the various jurisdictional
conflicts that affected the Church in emigration. Particularly important are documents dealing with conflicts of the Orthodox
Church in the United States, reflected in collected correspondence of Church hierarchs of the Russian Orthodox Greek Catholic
Church of America, the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia, conciliar minutes, epistles, and other related documents. Of
special significance is Maevskii's research on the Athonite monks and monasteries.
