Zraziuk Z. The Coin Cabinet of Kyiv University of St. Volodymyr: its shaping, activity and fate of collection (1834 – 1930-ті рр.).

This dissertation studies the history of one of the most prominent centers for the study of numismatic artifacts – the Coins Cabinet of the University of St. Volodymyr. The study of history of one of the most prominent centers for the study of numismatic - the Coin Cabinet of the University of St. Volodymyr is a neglected subject among scholars. There is still not any comprehensive study in the national historiography of the impact of this scientific institution, and this makes the chosen topic relevant and important. For most researchers both archival sources and numismatic collection of the university were inaccessible for a long time. That is why the history of the Coin Cabinet and the composition of its collection were not included in the priority directions of scientific research. A many years work with the attribution and arrangement of numismatic collection, as well as research of the history of its shaping undertaken by the the Department of the Numismatics at the National Museum of History of Ukraine, has laid the ground for making a synthesizing research of the history of this oldest and largest numismatic collections in Ukraine.
