Summary/Abstract: The paper presents the concept and work programme for the Historical Atlas of Red Ruthenia in the second half of the sixteenth century. This region of the Crown was not covered by the Historical Atlas of Poland, the edition of which has just been completed, encompassing the territorial scope defined in 1964. The project of the Atlas of Red Ruthenia (now within the boundaries of Ukraine and Poland), launched in 2022, is an extension of the work already done. It is based on similar guidelines but considers the need for modifications due to the region's specificities. The plan for the first stage of the research has been discussed in detail. It will result in maps of the six lands that make up Red Ruthenia, which will be published on the website in a web-GIS application, as well as databases and source editions.
