Custodial history: In 1914 a handwritten department of ShSS was created. Until the year 1939 it numbered 2.5 thousand units of storage. Since September 1939 there was a consistent liquidation of ShSS. By the decision of the Council of People's Commissars of the Ukrainian SSR from January 2, 1940 the library of NTSh was transferred to the L'viv branch of the library of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR, and the museum of the Society was disbanded. During the German occupation, the work of the ShSS was restored, as well as the active work of the handwriting department. At that time, many deposit holders took from the Library the collections left by them in 1939 and took them to the West. On the eve of the Second World War, ShSS was liquidated by the Soviet power. Museums and the library of ShSS, including the archive of the society, were disbanded. In autumn 1943, the German occupation administration carried out the export of cultural property from the Galicia district, part of the documents collected by the ShSS were transported to Silesia. Several batches of documentary materials from the ShSS archive were dispatched to Kyiv and Moscow in 1946-1950. The part was destroyed, only a small number returned to L'viv.
