The purpose of the study is to reconstruct the features of the emergence and functioning of the Drohobych Historical Circle in Lviv. The methodological basis of the work is an interdisciplinary approach. At the same time, methods of philosophical, general-scientific and specific-historical character are applied as well. Particular emphasis is placed on the structural and functional system analysis of historiographical facts, the comparative-historical method and the method of critical analysis of documentary material, based on the principles of objectivity and historicism. The scientific novelty consists in an attempt to comprehensively reconstruct the activity of the Drohobych circle of the Historical Society in Lviv. Conclusions. The experience of the regional policy of the Society, obtained during the formation of scientific circles, despite its generally modest results, yet had a great significance. Firstly, this experience was taken into account already at the beginning of the twentieth century in 1913, when the Krakow scientific center of the Historical Society was founded, which contributed to its emergence from a deep financial and organizational crisis and significantly increased the number of members of the organization, opening new prospects for its functioning. Secondly, this experience was the basis for the expansion of the Society's activities in the provinces in the interwar and post-war stages of its development.Learning from previous achievements and miscalculations also largely predetermined the flourishing of the scientific circles, departments and local branches of the Polish Historical Society. Unlike the academic circles, these structures were affiliates of the PHS. In the second half of the twentieth century PHS became by All-Polish Historical Institution, owing to this unique experience.
