Бібліотечно-бібліографічна діяльність Володимира Дорошенка в Науковому товаристві імені Шевченка у Львові

Abstract

The article is dedicated to the famous Ukrainian bibliographer of the 20th century Volodymyr Doroshenko, who was a valid member of the Shevchenko Scientific Society in Lviv, manager of the Bibliographical Bureau (1910–1914), chairman of the Bibliographical (later Bibliological) Commission (1913–1939). In Lviv, he received professional training as a librarian, overcoming the path from a temporary employee to the director of a library. His participation in the functioning and development of the Shevchenko Scientific Socie­ty in Lviv book collection, to which he gave more than 30 years of sacrificial work, is reflected. The role in substantiating its importance as a national library, which has a unique collection of Ukrainian and Ukrainian studies publications, as well as a scientific book collection and archive of Ukrainian print, is revealed. The bibliographic activity of V. Doroshenko, who carried out his main bibliographic projects under the auspices of the Shevchenko Scientific Society in Lviv, was highlighted: he carried out current registration of Ukrainian prints in 1911–1913; published thorough reviews of Ukrainian studies literature; was a co-compiler of personal bibliographic indexes of M. Hrushevsky, O. Kobylyanska, and M. Gogol. In 1913–1939, he headed the Bibliographic Commission of the National Academy of Sciences. In the Commission’s “Materials for Ukrainian Biblio­graphy” series, he published “List of Ivan Franko’s works with an appendix of articles about him and reviews of his writings” in two issues (fourth volume of the series) and “Goethe in Ukrainian translations, recitations and imitations” (sixth volume of the series). I. Franko’s bibliography, designed to cover as much as possible the multi-vector creativity of the writer and the literature about him, although unfinished, has the characteristics of a scientific publication, the principles of its arrangement are close to modern bibliographic fi­gures. A small, but original in terms of compilation method, the index of trans­lations by J. V. Goethe has not lost its relevance for researchers of creativity and translators of the works of the German writer. The final bibliographic project of V. Doroshenko of the Lviv period and the pinnacle of his bibliographic skill was the personal bibliographic index of T. Shevchenko, which was highly rated by experts and added to the golden fund of Ukrainian bibliography of the 20th century.
