Local history as a component of humanitarian historical education contributes to the activation of the creative potential of students, opens their diverse opportunities, creates conditions for personal and social interests, cultivates civic competencies. The authors of the article tried to summarize the existing experience of domestic local history studies, analyze the main directions of research and methods of their knowledge, as well as reveal the possibilities of local history in the process of activating the creative potential of students, especially students of history. During the preparation of the future specialist-historian, the disciplines of local history play a significant role. Their implementation is not only one of the stages of theoretical training of students, but also the result of practical orientation in preparation for practical classes, independent creative activity, individual, research work, as well as during industrial and pedagogical practice.
