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.
