The article is devoted to the history of the library of the Society for the Study of Amursky Kray in the pre-revolutionary period. The library was opened almost simultaneously with the Society in 1884 and became the first scientific library of the Russian Far Eastern region. The core of the library collection was acquired mainly through donations and book-exchange, and the unique library collection of the Society for the Study of Amursky Kray was established. Through the book-exchange, the library was receiving periodicals and continuing editions, both domestic and foreign.
