The published work is based on the results of an investigation connected with the study of the scientific heritage of the famous historian, ethnographer, archaeologist, local historian of the mid to late 19th century Volodymyr Mykolaiovych Yastrebov. His life and scientific heritage are still poorly known. In our view, this is caused with the absence of a personal archive of the scholar and the scattered nature of information about his life and activities. Therefore, a phased, detailed consideration of each specific area of V. Yastrebov’s research is crucial for conducting a comprehensive study of his life and scientific heritage. The scientist’s communication with foreign colleagues and the publication of his research materials among foreign scientists and in international periodicals are important components of V. Yastrebov’s scientific heritage and a significant stage in the scientist’s own academic path. The issue of Volodymyr Yastrebov’s collaboration with foreign academic colleagues, international publishing houses, and foreign scientific societies is considered in the article for the first time. The search for and analysis of V. Yastrebov’s published works in foreign editions have become the main focus of the submitted study. Additionally, an important task we have set for ourselves is to identify the reasons motivating the researcher to expand his scientific communication. An opportunity to publish the results of his ethnographic research despite fear of censorship and bans is one of the main reasons. Foreign publishing houses cooperating with the researcher are also identified in the article. The main problems Volodymyr Mykolaiovych has encountered in the process of such work are named, the chronological period during which the historian has scientific contacts abroad are determined, the number and content of the articles published in foreign journals are considered.
