The purpose of the article is to introduce into scientific circulation the unique document from the archive of the Scientific Library of Tomsk State University (SL TSU) “Scheme of bibliographic works on Western Siberia in Tomsk State Scientific Library”. The note by A. I. Georgievskiy, prepared in 1935–1936, supplements the information on the history of local lore bibliography of the 1930s and presents SL TSU as a major Siberian bibliographic center. The document defines the range of tasks of Siberian bibliography, the need to expand the ties of SL TSU with other bibliographic institutions of the country in the context of socialist construction and the first five-year plans. The relevance of studying archival documents of the 1930s is associates with the presence of large gaps in the history of librarianship in Western Siberia during this period, and in particular – in the field of development of local history bibliography. The research has established that the directions of regional bibliography outlined in the period under study have found their development in the work of TSU Scientific Library in the post-war years.
