Heritage and Development

Understanding the evolution of local history bibliography helps modern researchers better navigate the accumulated information heritage, avoid duplication of effort, and identify promising directions for further research. Problem-based historiography has always required a reliable source base. This article represents a first approximation to exploring the relationship between problem-based historiography and the history of local history bibliography. The purpose of this article is to present a historiographic overview of the development of local history bibliography in the RSFSR and the Russian Federation from the 1960s to the 1990s, identifying key issues and trends. The author examined the prerequisites for the emergence in the 1970s of the initial forms of historiographic analysis, which manifested themselves in the form of mentions and concise characteristics. The limited number of scientific works in this field is due, in particular, to factors of ideological control in Soviet science and the systemic crisis of the post-perestroika period. The study examined publications reflecting such historiographic topics as “Current Topics of Scientific Research as a Subject of Study of Historiography”; “Biographical Genre in Historiography”; “Issues of Periodization of Historical Processes”, etc. The significance of the “programmatic” article by Ya.G. Khaninson (1969) in the context of organizing scientific research, including on the history of Siberian bibliography, is noted. The publications by M.V. Mashkova (1973) and A.N. Buchenkov (1984) contain a review of historical and bibliographic research, covering the period from pre-revolutionary times to 1983. The development of the historiography of the history of local history bibliography in the 1990s is analyzed from a general scientific perspective due to the lack of works on this topic
