Summary/Abstract: R. Juzefovičius reviews and evaluates the first volume of The Chronicle of Vilnius History, published in the spring of 2008. It took some time to prepare this publication which was welcomed by readers. The reviewer, first of all, noted that the initiators and compilers of this periodical are Vilnius Pedagogical University and its partners, i.e. the Lithuanian Institute of History, the Castle Research Centre Lithuania’s Castles, and the public institution Vilnius’ Town Hall. Secondly, the reviewer highlighted the main conception of the publishers – their aspiration to publish researches dealing with various spheres of Vilnius development from ancient times till present-day period. The issues of Vilnius history, according to the compilers, should be viewed in close connection with Lithuanian as well as East and Middle Europe history. Comparative researches of Vilnius as Lithuania’s capital should also be carried out.
