19.01.2001 Recently in the
Diocese of Sourozh we began systematic collection of materials of Metropolitan
Anthony of Sourozh – with his consent and support. The Diocese recognised a
necessity to create as complete as possible an archive of its Bishop on modern
media to provide durability and convenience of use of the stored materials.
There will be three copies of the archive: in the USA, Russia and England. The
archive will include texts in every language – both published and unpublished;
audio tapes; video materials (photos, films and video-films). As an addition –
printed and published materials about the Bishop, personal testimonies.
It is not a small
task – particularly because the Bishop generously planted the seeds, but never
cared to pick the fruits of his labours. We urge everybody who has some
materials – or can help in this huge project – to lend materials and/or
contribute his or her efforts. All the materials provided to us will be entered
into a computer and stored on the compact disks (CDs) and digital video-disks (DVDs)
and the originals promptly returned to the owners.
Please, bring
materials (or their copies) you have or offers of your help and service to:
