The article considers the second half of the 19th century Old Believer Collection on Consecration kept in the Manuscript and Book Department of the Scientific Library of Tomsk State University and analyzes the works therein. The author compares the manuscript with the published copy of the Genealogies of the Old Believers’ Chapel Community by reverend Nephon and makes an assumption that the text Traces of Our Ancestors may be connected with the still missing work of Father Maximus On Our Ancestors (Russian O pretkakh nashikh). Additionally, the author analyzes the 1823 Regulation of the Nizhniy Tagil Society and The Account of Chroniclers. The author compares them with the published Genealogies and lists differences the two texts contain. The article also considers a number of issues connected with the history of the collection and its significance as a source on the history of Ural Old Belief.
