The purpose of the article is to generalize information about the formation of the collection of archaeological monuments from the explorations and excavations of Pavlo Khavliuk, which is stored in the funds of the Vinnytsia Regional Museum of History and Nature. The research methodology is represented by: the principle of historicism, system approach, methods of logic, grouping, comparative-historical, statistical and problem-chronological principles. The scientific novelty of the work in the fact that it is the first generalizing work, which systematizes and analyzes the materials of long-term excavations by Pavlo Khavliuk (1925-2001) at various historical monuments of archeology from the territory of the Vinnytsia region, which constitute a significant part of the stock collection of the Vinnytsia Regional Museum of History and Nature. Conclusions. Pavlo Ivanovych studied the archaeological monuments of our region from 1950 to 2001. During this time, the archaeologist discovered more than 1,200 objects of archaeological heritage. Stationary excavations were carried out at almost 100 monuments (settlements, hillforts, burial grounds, etc.). From 43 of them, the materials entered the main fund of the Vinnytsia Regional Museum of History and Nature. The rest of the collection is in the research fund and is under development. Among the processed materials in the foundation collection, there are materials from the monuments of the Trypil culture (Borysivka, Luhova, Rakhny Sobovi, Ulanivka), the pre-Scythian period (Kunka), the Scythian period (Gaisyn, Zhornyshche, Severynivka, Slobidka, Soroka, Stina), the Zarubinets culture (Nosivtsi, Maryanivka, Rachny Sobovi, Parkhomivka, Raiky), Chernyakhiv culture (Gaivove, Garmaki, Gunka, Demydivka, Zayachivka, Skitka, Slobidka, Trostyanets), early Slavic period (Holiky, Kalnik, Korzhivka, Kochuriv III, Kuna, Pariivka, Parkhomivka, Semenky I, Trostyanets, Khrinivka, Chortoriya, Shchurivtsi), of the period of Kyiv Rus (Demydivka, Parkhomivka, Sazhki, Slobidka, Chervone, Chortoriya, Yurkivtsi). There are 1,676 objects in the "Archaeology" storage group, and 156 artifacts in the "scientific auxiliary fund". Scientific passports have been drawn up for these subjects and they are actively introduced into scientific circulation. The other part of the collection is being processed and replenishes the fund collection of the museum. The obtained data are systematized and comprehensively analyzed, their historical interpretation is presented. The work describes the characteristics of materials by archaeological cultures and years of excavation.
