Heretofore unknown material concerning the twelfthcentury church of St. Boris and Gleb in Kołoża in Grodno have been discovered in 1993 in the Russian Historical Archive in St. Petersburg. They include detailed measurement documentation made by Jakub Fordon in 1852 i. e. a year before the landslide of the escarpment of the Niemen river and the collapse into the water of part of the facade and half of the southern wall of the church; architectonic documents from a period prior to 1889, registering the state of the building after the catastrophe of 1853, and almost 3000 projects from 1852-1907 pertaining to the reinforcement of the banks of the Niemen and the renovation of the church. These materials comprise a reliable foundation for planning the reconstruction of the church in its form dating from 1852; the significance of the newly found documents for salvaging the still-threatened monument, 50 per cent of which is damaged, is simply invaluable.
