Abstract
The article presents the main aspects of the study of materials from the personal archive of the world famous archaeologist Viktor Ivanovich Sarianidi. For a long time, the scientist’s personal fund was in a state of archival placers, which did not allow using it fully. To organize the entire array of documents, their analysis, description and systematization were carried out. Several key thematic sections have been formed, including materials related to the period 1960–2013. These are manuscripts and copies of scientific papers, field materials from excavations of archaeological sites, photographs, documents on the organizational activities of V.I. Sarianidi, his correspondence, and documents of other persons deposited in the archives of the researcher. For a number of documents of the fund (field diaries, photographs and films), work was carried out on electronic digital copying. Working with the archive made it possible to systematize the entire available array of materials, contributed to a more detailed study of all sources, as well as the introduction of previously unknown information into scientific circulation.
