Custodial history: On the eve of the Second World War, ShSS was liquidated by the Soviet power. Museums and the library of ShSS, including the archive of the society, were disbanded. In autumn 1943, the German occupation administration carried out the export of cultural property from the Galicia district, part of the documents collected by the ShSS were transported to Silesia. Several batches of documentary materials from the ShSS archive were dispatched to Kyiv and Moscow in 1946-1950. The part was destroyed, only a small number returned to Lviv. The documents of the fund were deposited to the Central State Historical Archive in Lviv in 1951 from the Central State Historical Archive in Kyjiv. And in 1952, when differentiating the documents from the State archive of the Lviv region, most of the societie's manuscript collections were transferred to the Lviv Historical Archive in the form of placers. And the rest were divided between libraries, archives and museums. Only a small part of the large collection of serial and simultaneous publications of the Shevchenko Scientific Society in Lviv from the beginning of its foundation until the Second World War remained in the ownership of the society itself and is in its library as of today. This collection includes precisely these publications that are stored in the library of the NTSh.
Arrangement: A small collection of the society's publications from the beginning of its foundation until the Second World War, which is currently in the library of the NTSh, has been cataloged and described. This collection is not a complete set of the society's publications. The name of the images of the society's digital publications, which we created within the framework of the project EAP1452, repeats the code of the collections provided to them in the society's library.
