The article describes the history of creation and activities of sanitary guardians in the cities of the Russian Empire. The study aims to identify organizational and social contradictions in guardianships’ activities, which hindered citizens from involvement in solving local sanitary problems. Boards of sanitary guardians were established by order of local authorities to involve the population in the fight against epidemics and conducting sanitary measures. The sanitary guardians’ activities consisted of timely notification of local authorities about the emergence of epidemics, participation in sanitary inspections of households, and conducting preventive conversations with homeowners about their compliance with public health and urban improvement regulations. The practice of citizens social participation in monitoring the urban area’s cleanliness was intended to level out the contradictions between homeowners and temporary doctors and sanitary executive commissions “alien” to the city community. Still, it often provoked conflicts between sanitary guardians and homeowners who defended the rights to inviolability of their property. In general, public oversight conducted by sanitary guardians has proven ineffective in the long term.

The article provides a general overview of the extensive manuscript heritage of one of the most prominent figures of Eastern Galicia who migrated to the Russian Empire in the XIX century — Venedikt Mikhailovich Ploshchansky (1834–1902). After being forced to leave Lviv with his family in fear of political persecution, in the spring of 1888 he became a member of the Vilna Commission for the Analysis and Publication of Ancient Acts. Here, in Vilna, he spent the last 14 years of his life, actively working, among other things, on the basis of the sources that he had collected on the territory of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. All these numerous materials, as well as the personal archive of the researcher, were apportioned after his death by a number of indigenous repositories. The main part of them immediately end up in the Vilna Public Library, although in scattered form. For a very long time, starting from the 1970s, we have been searching and analyzing the handwritten documents collected and compiled by V. M. Ploshchansky, including extensive handwritten notes and additions left by the researcher on the pages of books from his library, which appeared in various public and private collections.
