Abstract
The peculiarities of organizational bases of scientific work of students specialized in folk studies at Lviv University at different stages of its history (as the Emperor Franz I Imperial-Royal University of Lviv (before 1918), as Jan Casimir University of Lviv (1919–1939) and as Ivan Franko State University of Lviv) are characterized. Particular attention is paid to the forms of activity of student scientific societies. As a result of the study, it was stated that one of the important components of the organization of folk studies at Lviv University were student scientific societies, organized directly on the initiative of students interested in various fields of folk studies. One of the first such societies – the Ethnographic Circle – emerged at the Geographical Institute of the Emperor Franz I Imperial-Royal University of Lviv. The Circle of Students of Anthropological Sciences of the Jan Casimir University of Lviv have been active since the late 1920s. It differed from similar student societies in other universities in its efforts to develop links between anthropology, ethnology, and prehistory. The society also taxed the connections of these sciences with related branches of scientific knowledge – the history of law, sociology, etc. This direction contributed to the search for new methodological approaches to solving c problems of folk studies. The activities of the Circle of Anthropological Sciences were supported (in particular, financially) at the level of the Ministry of Education of the Republic of Poland, the leadership of Lviv University and its professors Jan Czekanowski, Adam Fischer, Leon Kozłowski, associate professors and doctors. This activity contributed to the improvement of professional training of future scientists, and at that time – students. Scientific work, organized within the framework of student scientific societies, was also developed at Ivan Franko State University of Lviv. In particular, in the first postwar years a Circle of Folklore and Ethnography was organized, Mykhailo Skoryk took care of this society. One of the important components of the society’s activity was the organization of field trips of students in order to record folklore and ethnographic materials.
