abstract

The State Natural History Museum of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine in Lviv is one of the oldest in Ukraine. Founded in the mid-19th century, it is purely regional in nature, covering the territories of western Ukraine and south-eastern Poland (historical collections). The historical development of theriology in the museum is divided into four stages: 1 — Austrian (1843–1899), 2 — Polish (1900 to 1939), 3 — Soviet (1940 to 1990), 4 — Ukrainian (1991 to present). The report analyses the stages of compiling the mammal collection and provides a brief analysis of theriological research at the institution over the last 80 years. A list of research topics in theriology that were carried out at the Museum during the Soviet period from 1949 to 1969, under the leadership of leading scientists of that time, is given. The Museum employees who, throughout its existence, made the greatest contribution to the acquisition of theriological collections and the development of theriology at the institution are mentioned.
