The Bishop Platon Papers contain material relating to the rebirth of the Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox Church in Nazi-occupied Ukraine and its continued existence in exile in post-war Germany. The material includes records and correspondence related to the administration of the UAOC, UAOC bishops' council (Sobor) meeting minutes and related documents, records and correspondence pertaining to refugee relief and resettlement, and extensive correspondence with other UAOC hierarchs. These provide a window into the difficulties faced by Ukrainian refugees in post-war Germany and the efforts of the Church to minister to its faithful and deal with the internal conflicts that arose in that unstable time. In addition, this collection contains important information of genealogical interest in the form of employment records and relief aid distribution reports.
