[Accounting book]

This file consists of account book referring to Zion No. 2. Grand Forks, BC, 1946. 149 pages ledger containing the account for the Doukhobor Community of Zion No. 2, as organized by P.P. Verigin before his death in 1939. Having originally divided the disparate Doukhobor settlements in 36 "communities" Verigin left each a packet of instructions. One set of instructions dealt with keeping the Community accounts - that is, a record of monies collected and dispersed just on account of the Community as designated by Verigin. Zion No. 1 was essentially the ground occupied by J.J. Verigin, which was soon absorbed into Zion No. 2 for practical reasons. This ledger records, then, monies collected to pay a stipend to Verigin, disbursements of the same, money for guarding his house, money raised to help other communities, etc. This ledger continues through 2004, with increasingly fewer entries, as the
"community" system gave way to more complex arrangements and only a few older Doukhobors remained "community" members under this system. As far as is known, this is the only extant ledger from any of the communities and being the one representing J.J. Verigin's community, is of signal importance.

Affadavits

This file contains original manuscript and/or typescript letters and affidavits dated from 1940s to 1970s. The subject of these files is acts of violence committed by the Sons of Freedom, particularly by women, attested to in these documents as being directly and indirectly ordered by J. J. Verigin. Although copies of some of these were presented to the Doukhobor Research Committee, as well as to the Court, no action was ever brought against Verigin, though hundreds of Sons of Freedom were jailed, on their own admission to committing these acts. These documents include detailed accounts of Verigin visiting homes and prisons to give instructions for burnings and explosions. These appear to be the Sons of Freedom’s own files of original affidavits and letters solicited from participants.
