Abstract. Formulation of the problem. Photographs and negatives of V. Shcherbakivsky are an important source for studying the genesis of Ukrainian sacred building, architecture, folk art, and ethnography. They are the basis for the restoration of the artistic tradition, remain relevant, and go far beyond the boundaries of historiographical discourse.
The article highlights the cooperation of V. Shcherbakivsky with the National Academy of Sciences, his scientific research in Galicia at the beginning of the 20th century and in the Poltava region, it is shown how the collected visual sources allowed V. Shcherbakivsky to assert the existence of an independent «Ukrainian church style» that Ukrainian artistic tradition is a confirmation of national identity, it is highlighted how his photo-fixation of Ukrainian church architecture became an important factor in breaking the Great Russian thing in the appropriation of other people’s achievements.
The purpose of the article is to publicize and analyze information about Vadym Shcherbakivsky’s negatives, which are stored in the funds of the Institute of Ethnology of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, to show his familiarity with photographic practice, to highlight their value for architecture, folk art, ethnology, and church history. It is shown how visual sources serve as artifacts for the study of architecture, folk art, ethnology and Church history, the tasks set for the processing and digitization of photographs and negatives of V. Shcherbakivsky and the publication of an album for the 150th anniversary of his birth.
