The purpose of the article is to present the historiographical review of the studies on the history of domestic librarianship, aimed at summarizing the interim results and identifying the trends in development of the history of library construction. The author determines that the research works on library construction in the USSR republics prevail in the studies on the history of librarianship. Research works on the history of library construction in Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan and Ukraine dominate among them. Since the 1990s, the vector has shifted to the study of library construction in certain regions, areas and Autonomous republics of Russia. The regions of greatest interest are Siberia and the Urals, as well as Tatarstan, Bashkiria and Orenburg region. In chronological terms, the most studies are devoted to the history of Soviet library construction. In addition to comprehensive research studies, the works on the history of formation and development of particular library technologies — such as creation of collections, book description and library services — occupy a definite place. The history of library education is of considerable interest to the experts. The researchers studied the history of library science in sufficient detail.The author noted that there formed the central and regional schools in the field of history of librarianship. Moscow and St. Petersburg schools occupy the main place among them.The author determined that the lack of synthetic, comprehensive scientific research in the area of source studies, archaeography and historiography of the history of librarianship is the main drawback hindering the development of the history of librarianship. The article notes that without these studies it is impossible to conduct the generalized research covering the history of the domestic librarianship from its origin to the present time. The article continues the earlier studies.

The article is devoted to the contribution of the famous Russian specialist in library science K. I. Abramov to the methodology of library history, the author of almost 340 publications, of which two-thirds are devoted to history. The importance of his contribution to the development of source studies, historiography, archeography, and library history is emphasized. Based on the principle of historicism and methods of structural analysis, the historical reconstruction of the formation and development of his methodological views was carried out. The external conditions of his formation as a historian are analyzed. It is noted that the formation took place in difficult socio-political conditions. The main conclusions are as follows. The methodological views of K. I. Abramov were based on the relying on archival material, striving to improve the scientific character of historical research, overcoming the desire to reduce research to a superficial presentation and commentary on certain Leninist positions. With his participation, Lenin and Krupskaya’s works on library science were collected and published. At the same time, his worldview was characterized by a dogmatic attitude to Marxism and its methodology, an unconditional adherence to the leading quote, and a non-critical attitude to the statements of the classics of Marxism-Leninism. The Marxist-Leninist doctrine of culture and the library heritage of Lenin and Krupskaya served as a theory in Abramov’s works; the dominance of historical and pedagogical research, which is characterized by following the official interpretation of certain events, simplified presentation of historical processes and events, unambiguity of author’s judgments and assessments, avoiding halftones, exalting achievements while concealing mistakes and failures.The analysis also showed that in the 1990s, under the influence of socio-political changes and rejection of Marxism-Leninism, Abramov revised his attitude to the history of Soviet library construction. He began to focus on the theory of democracy, in the context of which libraries were seen as a vehicle for democracy, and the leading role in library construction was given to the public library movement. He puts forward the concept of democratic library science, which was formed in the period between the February and October revolutions and was rejected by the Bolsheviks.The significance of this study is associated with the generalization of Abramov’s methodological heritage aimed at developing the positive aspects of his methodology, as well as overcoming methodologically incorrect judgments about the history of Soviet library construction.

Classical librarianship drowns in the sea of change. in the United States our profession had indicated a profound change -especially in the last 20 years.

For the first time we examine the little-studied aspect of the history of library science – its relationship with prominent figures of the Tambov Region. Some of them are connected with the region by the place of birth, some – by the place of life and activity, some – through their students. The first two categories are discussed in details: biographical data of persons are given, their contribution to the development of national culture and library science is characterized. The influence of the capital scientists on the formation and development of library education in the Tambov land and the formation of the library research direction in the Tambov State University named after G.R. Derzhavin are particularly highlighted. Chronologically we cover pre-Soviet, Soviet and post-Soviet periods of the history of national culture.

The article analyzes information materials related to the development of the exchange business of Dnieper Ukraine in the second half of the XIX – early XX centuries, which in the period under study were published in the regional press of Odessa and Kyiv. The author notes that one of the least covered aspects in the study of the process of development of capitalist relations in Dnieper Ukraine in the second half of the XIX – early XX centuries. the activity of the leading exchange institutions in this period remains. The article notes that the mass of information that was published in the columns of the then regional periodicals, especially those that were published in the leading stock exchange centers of Ukraine, is practically out of the attention of Ukrainian scientists. The purpose of this article is to fill this gap and introduce into scientific circulation Ukrainian regional periodicals, which considered certain aspects of the activities of exchange institutions. As a result of the study, the author came to the conclusion that regional periodicals are a valuable source on the history of formation and development of stock exchange business in Ukraine in the second half of the nineteenth – early twentieth century. However, it is noted that the use of this type of documentary material in the process of scientific research requires the scientist to understand the important factors that influenced the submission of materials and their characteristics. First, it is important to determine the degree of interaction of a particular publication, which dealt with stock exchange affairs, with state and provincial authorities. If the official newspapers and magazines, as a rule, did not reveal the shortcomings of the current exchange system, the private press often contained critical articles on this issue. That is why a full-fledged study of the development of the stock market on the basis of the use of periodicals is possible only through a combination of different in nature and origin of publications. The author notes that each of the characterized sources has a different information potential and saturation. The analyzed materials cover various aspects of the development of stock exchange business in Ukraine in the study period. Therefore, a comprehensive combination of the entire layer of documentary materials is important for the full disclosure of the problem under study.
