The research methodology consists in the application of historical-systemic, concrete-historical and comparative-historical methods, which allows to study the history of formation and activity of one of the oldest seminaries in Ukraine, to analyze the book collection of the fundamental library of Podolsk Theological Seminary. The scientific novelty lies in the presentation of the composition of the fundamental library of the Podolsk Theological Seminary, its content and bibliographic analysis, which has not been conducted so far. The distribution of books by ciphers preserved from the time of existence and functioning of the library is systematized and analyzed. According to the marginal inscriptions on the old prints, an attempt was made to trace the ways in which these books got to the seminary library. Results of the research. It was found that the Podolsk Theological Seminary absorbed the libraries of the Uniate and Catholic monasteries of the Right Bank of Ukraine and continued the development of education and upbringing of the younger generation for more than a century of its existence. The fundamental library of the Podolsk Theological Seminary consisted of books of a scientific nature, and was a source of knowledge for teachers and students of the seminary. The collections of the fundamental library remain the object of research on the history of the church, education and science on the Right Bank of Ukraine. In addition, it was found that a significant part of the library’s collections are old publications that can be the subject of study of modern scholars and bibliologists.
