DEVELOPMENT OF THE ACTIVITY OF THE CENTRAL PROVINCIAL LIBRARIES IN UKRAINE IN THE 1920S IN THE CONTEXT OF THE EVOLUTION OF THE LEADING PUBLIC LIBRARIES OF THE PROVINCIAL CITIES

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of the work is to determine the socio-cultural preconditions for the emergence and development of central provincial libraries as the leading public book collections of provincial cities in the territory of Ukraine in the 1920s, to identify the main features and socio-historical factors of their formation and activity, to study the specifics of functioning, place and importance in building a network of public libraries for the period. The methodology of the research is to apply both general scientific methods of research (description, comparison, analogy, deduction, induction, analysis, etc.), as well as historical (historical-comparative, historical-typological, chronological, etc.). The scientific novelty of the work is to expand ideas about the activities of the central provincial libraries as successors of the leading city book collections. Conclusions. With the establishment of Soviet power, after the nationalization and centralization of library collections, a network of central provincial libraries was established in Ukraine in the period 1919–1925 (some provinces and, accordingly, provincial libraries existed in the USSR until 1929). It is revealed that most of the central provincial libraries inherited the funds of the former city, public and provincial public libraries, some of which arose in the 19th century.
