The interdisciplinary connection in the study of memorial (historical) memory and microhistory is demonstrated using specific examples in the form of submitted personal documents, namely, front-line letters from the times of the Great Patriotic War. The purpose of the work is to show their importance in the development of microhistory as a discipline on the basis of the information received from the front letters stored in the funds of the Yalta Museum of History and Literature. Objectives: to consider and analyze the information contained in the front letters, thereby demonstrating their theoretical and practical significance for historical science as additional sources of information on the Great Patriotic War. To indicate the importance of this information for such humanitarian disciplines as “Microhistoryˮ and “History of everyday lifeˮ. Methodology. In the process of working on the study, the following research methods were used: analysis, synthesis, analogy and generalization. Results. The development of this problem proves the promise of such modern trends as microhistory and history of everyday life in the study of history as a science. This work helps to see new opportunities and study the history of everyday life on the basis of specific personalities during the Great Patriotic War. So, the study of front-line letters written by the heroes of the Great Patriotic War helps us to look at some historical facts from a different perspective, thereby studying the subject in more detail and volume. In particular, the obtained historical data and details are a special addition to the history of the liberation of Crimea from the fascist invaders. Conclusion. Thus, letters from the front are a valuable scientific source of information, showing us important details in the context of such disciplines as “Microhistoryˮ and “History of everyday lifeˮ. The personal history of a front-line hero becomes a significant addition to the study of the history of the liberated city (Yalta) and, in general, shows new promising directions in the study of the history of everyday life on the other hand, namely, on specific historical personalities who were active participants in significant events. In this study, we directly introduce new documents into scientific circulation, namely the presented memoirs of the heroes - front-line soldiers of Big Yalta, from the funds of the Yalta Historical and Literary Museum. This scientific research sets a new direction in the interdisciplinary (complex) and multilateral study of memorial memory in the mainstream of such humanitarian disciplines as “Microhistoryˮ and “History of everyday lifeˮ.
