The revived NTSh is a scientific institution formed in theoretical and practical dimensions with clear state approaches to the interpretation and specific work on the study of scientific processes. Based on the traditional scientific concepts of the previous NTSh, the society developed a clear program of actions that concerned the essence and meaning of national life, the problems of the development of the Ukrainian idea and national interest from the point of view of various scientific interests, and scientific and publishing activities became the most important priority. All of the above applies to the book series “Memoir Library of NTSh” of the humanitarian direction, in which seven memoir editions of popular scientific content were published, which are important documentary sources for the modern history of Ukraine.

The article first reveals the publishing activity of the book series “Memoir Library of the NTSh” (1995–2001), which was published by the Нistorical and philosophical commission of the society within the framework of the fifth stage of the revival of the maternity NTSh in Ukraine. The publishing strategies of the publishers of the series in the release of printed products are analyzed, which set themselves the goal of publishing sources from the modern history of Ukraine, comprehensively covering the scientific and popular science me­moir discourse and tracing the continuity of publishing traditions from the past to the present.

Keywords: Shevchenko Scientific Society, the city of Lviv, O. Romaniv, book series “Memoir Library of the NTSh”, modern publishing activity, documentary source, modern history of Ukraine.
