Summary/Abstract: The reforming of the university system in the Russian Empire in the second half of the 19th century also aff ected the activity of the University Councils. The main documents that reflected the functioning of these institutions are the protocols of their meetings. This article analyzes the source potential of the surviving protocols of the Council of the Imperial Kharkiv University. The research of this complex allows us not only to clarify the specific facts from the history of higher education in the Russian Empire in the second half of the XIX century, but also to review existing stereotypes in historiography, which concern the role of university councils in the transition from the „corporate” university to the „state” one.
