N.F. Levin, S.L. Sviridov. Klerovye sheets, confessional paintings and parish registers of churches and graveyards of the city of Velikiye Luki and its county in the funds of the State Archives of the Pskov Region. Magazine "Pskov Archives", No. 3.
From the new guide to the State Archives of the Pskov Region (GAPO), published in 2011, it became known that these documents are stored not only in 22 inventories of fund No. 39 of the Pskov Spiritual Consistory, to which researchers turned first of all. They are also in other funds of the archive. There are especially many such funds for the churches of the city of Velikiye Luki and its county. In particular, they are available in fund No. 128 of the Velikoluksky Spiritual Board and in the funds of the deans of the four districts of this county. Only two deans of the Nevelsk district still have such funds. Only for a quarter of the churches of the Pskov diocese, namely for 112 churches, separate funds have been created in the GAPO, and 48 of them are Velikiye Luki. There are 75 descriptions in total.
The need to bring these cases into separate lists by uyezds is obvious. In the proposed lists for Velikiye Luki and his county, cases are singled out for individual churches of the city and churchyards of the county, and the rest, consolidated cases, are arranged in chronological order.
When preparing the lists, the names of some cases were clarified, and it was established to which particular temple it refers.
On familysearch.org and in the Pskov archive, registers of births of the Velikoluksky district for 1746 - 1865 inclusive.

Historical information on the province
Pskov province is an administrative unit of the Russian Empire. The provincial city was the city of Pskov. It existed from 1796 to 1924, after which it became part of the newly formed Leningrad Region. In terms of area in 1914, it occupied 44211.2 km2 (38846.5 square miles). The population according to the 1897 census is 1,122,317 people.
History
In 1708, the territory of the future Pskov province became part of the Ingermanland province, as the Pskov province. The county towns of the province were: Gdov, Izborsk, Ostrov, Opochka, Pskov, Kholmsky Posad, Zavolochye, Pustorzhev and Kobylsk.
In 1727, the Novgorod province was separated from the St. Petersburg province and consisted of 5 provinces (Novgorod, Pskov, Velikolutsk, Tver and Belozersk). In 1772 (after the first partition of Poland, from the newly annexed lands), the Pskov province was created (the center of the province was the city of Opochka), it included 2 provinces of the Novgorod province Pskov and Velikolutskaya and new Dvina (Polish Livonia) and Polotsk from the lands of the former Vitebsk voivodeships
In 1772, the Pskov province was renamed the 2nd Belorussian province with a center in Opochka (since 1776, the center of the province was moved to Polotsk), which, in addition to Pskov, also included the provinces of Velikolutsk, Vitebsk, Dinaburg, Dvinsk and Polotsk.
In 1777, the Pskov governorship was created, consisting of 10 districts, in 1796 it was transformed into the Pskov province. At that time, the province consisted of 6 counties: Pskov, Velikolutsky, Opochetsky, Ostrovsky, Porkhov and Toropetsky. In 1802, two more counties were allocated from them: Kholmsky and Novorzhevsky.
Under Soviet rule
In April 1918, eight northwestern provinces - Petrograd, Novgorod, Pskov, Olonets, Arkhangelsk, Vologda, Cherepovets and Severodvinsk - were merged into the Union of Communes of the Northern Region, which, already in 1919, was abolished. Also, after the October Revolution, the Pskov province underwent a number of territorial changes, so in 1920 part of the western counties went to Estonia, and in 1922 the southern counties came under the control of the Vitebsk province. In 1927, the Pskov province was liquidated and became part of the Leningrad region.

Pskov province was reorganized under Paul the First in 1796 from the Pskov viceroy, created as a result of the administrative reform of Catherine the Second in 1777 from the lands that were once under the jurisdiction of the Pskov Republic and, in part, as part of the Shelon Pyatina of the Novgorod Land (XVI century). At the beginning of the XVIII century. (1708) these lands became part of the Ingermanland province (in 1710 it was renamed the St. Petersburg province). In 1719, in connection with the introduction of a new administrative-territorial division of the provinces of the Russian Empire into provinces, a province of the same name was formed on the site of the future Pskov province (with the county towns of Pskov, Gdov, Izborsk, etc.). In 1727, a number of lands that were part of the St. Petersburg province (including the Pskov province) were withdrawn from its composition and transferred to the newly formed Novgorod province. After the first partition of the Commonwealth (Poland) in 1772, the Pskov province was formed as part of the Russian Empire, in 1776 it was divided, in turn, into two provinces - Pskov and Polotsk. Finally, in 1777, the Pskov governorship was created.

There are the following maps and sources:
(with the exception of those indicated on the main page of general
all-Russian atlases, where this province can also be)

Survey map - non-topographic (without indicating latitudes and longitudes), hand-drawn map of the late 18th century (after the redistribution of borders in 1775-78) on a scale of 1 inch = 2 versts 1cm=840m or 1inch=1verst 1cm=420m. Some of the maps belong to the period of Catherine II 1775-96, Paul I, having come to power, changed the borders of counties within the provinces (which, in turn, Alexander I returned to their original place, but with some changes), while part of the maps of the General Survey Fund only survived for one period.
The maps are in color, very detailed, broken down by county. The purpose of the map is to show the boundaries of land plots with reference to the terrain. In the Pskov province, all dvuverstka are usually two-color (see sample)

The space of the Pskov diocese was not always the same. At first, it was within the five nearest cities and counties: Pskov, Izborsk, Ostrovsky, Opochetsky and Gdovsky. Upon the establishment of the Pskov province by Peter I, Zavolochye, Krasnoye, Gorodishche, Pustorzhevsky (Novorzhevsky) district and Kobylinsk were assigned. In the 60s of the 18th century, the Velikoluksky district was added to the Pskov diocese. Over the time of the transformation of the Pskov province into a province from 1773 and then from 1777, the cities of Kholm and Porkhov with counties were transferred from the Novgorod diocese to the governorship of Pskov, and Sebezh, Polotsk, Nevel, Dvinsk and Vitebsk from the Belarusian one. In 1781, the Gdovsky district was separated to the St. Petersburg diocese, and in 1798 the Belarusian cities also went back to the Belarusian diocese. From the Smolensk diocese, since 1787, Toropets with the county was assigned to the Pskov diocese. For some time, Livonia and Courland were under the spiritual authority of the archpastors of Pskov until the establishment of the Riga diocese in 1850. From 1849 to 1858 The Archbishop of Riga simultaneously ruled the Pskov diocese. The bishops who occupied the Pskov cathedra since 1858 were called "Pskov and Porkhov". At the beginning of the 20th century, the boundaries of the territory of the diocese coincided with the administrative boundaries of the Pskov province.

Lost Documents:
During the Great Patriotic War, the documents of the archive of the Pskov region were not evacuated, some of them were irretrievably lost during the bombing and shelling of the city during the hostilities (During the war, two trucks with documents were hit by bombs). During the occupation of Pskov by the Germans, the archive was looted and partially destroyed.
After the liberation of the city of Pskov from the Nazi invaders, the city archive resumed its activities. The archive staff examined all the surviving buildings of the city to search for surviving archival documents. Most of them were found in the basement of a residential building at 17 Kalinina Street in a state of severe pollution and scattering.
