Germans from Russia: The Concordia Collection

Introduction
In the spring of 2020 Concordia University in Portland, Oregon closed its doors. This meant that all its library holdings and those of the American Society of Germans from Russia library, which was housed in the university library, had to be dispensed with. In the summer of 2020 the Family History Library, now known as the FamilySearch Library (FSL), obtained the Germans from Russia material (hereafter "The Concordia Collection"). The following materials are from that collection.

About this Collection
The list consists of various material types: books, maps, genealogical charts, and bound materials. Each entry is linked to the FamilySearch catalog (Linking each item to the catalog is a work in progress). Each column is able to be alphabetized by clicking on the arrows at the top right of the column. By doing so, you can see all the works written by a certain author or from a certain locality, such as Oregon or California.

Bound Research Materials
The bound research materials are from binders and folders that were in the Concordia library of research done by individuals. A team of volunteers at the FSL went through each binder or folder page-by-page to determine whether its inclusion was appropriate. FamilySearch has made these records available to researchers by binding each set and putting the bound volume on the shelf of the FSL with a call number. These volumes represent hundreds, if not thousands, of hours of research and can be found nowhere else besides the FSL.
