Scope and Content of Collection
These papers contain the personal papers of Archimandrite Polikarp (Gorbunov). After the Russian Revolution, Archimandrite
Polikarp found himself in Harbin, China, where he was closely associated with Metropolitan Meletii (Zaborovskii), and was
assigned as rector of the Annunciation cathedral. After fleeing from Harbin, Archimandrite Polikarp relocated to Hong Kong,
and finally emigrated to the U.S.A., where he entered Holy Trinity Monastery in Jordanville, N.Y. The Subject file includes
an inventory of ecclesiastical items of the Harbin Annunciation cathedral.

Seminary Archives as its property. A transfer table indicating corresponding box and reel numbers is appended to this register.
