The article is dedicated to the analyses of the scientific work of Mykhailo Zubrytskyi, a famous Ukrainian archaeographer, historian, ethnographer and folklorist.

M. Zubrytskyi collaboration with various research subdivisions of the first Ukrainian scientific institution has been considered in detail. It has been established that he has lived in a mountain village of Mshanets remote from Lviv. Now it belongs to Staryi Sambir district of Lviv region. The scholar-pastor personally has attended seven meetings of the Historical and Philosophical Section, once a meeting of the Archaeographic and Statistical Commissions and twice the General Meeting of the Society.

During the meetings of the Historical and Philosophical Section 20 major source, historical and ethnographic studies of M. Zubrytskyi as a native of Boikivschyna, prepared by him during 1897–1911, have been discussed and recommended for printing. Mykhailo Zubrytskyi has proposed only 4 of his own articles to the members of this research subdivision. The rest of his studies have been prepared by the other scholars: I. Franko – 5, M. Hrushevskyi – 6, Volodymyr Hnatiuk – 4, Stefan Tomashivskyi – 1. The author has often completed the texts of archaeographic and ethnographic researches by interesting facts even in the process of their imposing in the printing house.

M. Zubrytskyi also has been concerned in the realization of the first comprehensive (ethnographic-anthropological) field expedition of Ukrainian ethnographers in 1904. The results of the work of its participants (Ivan Franko, Fedir Vovk, Zenon Kuzelia) have influenced the further ethnographic interests of the scientist.

In particular, the researcher has studied actively the national material culture of Boiky – housing, clothing and footwear – after the completion of this scientific journey. Since 1904 he has replenished systematically the ethnographic collections of various museums in Europe (Ethnographic Museum in Vienna (Austria), Ethnographic Museum in Basel (Switzerland), Shevchenko Scientific Society Museum in Lviv) with interesting monuments of traditional and everyday culture of the north-western part of Boikivshchyna.
