Summary/Abstract: The key and basic problem in doing research about the history of the Catholic Church of Latin rite in the eastern regions of the Republic of Both Nations (the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth), after the regions of the Republic were included into Russian Empire, is verification of information about the changes in administrative division, numbers of parishes, churches and chapels and the number of clergy and the faithful. The difficulties refer to period 1772–1939. The data to which the researchers are usually referring were determined on the basis of fragmentary sources from Polish and West-European archives, scientific periodicals and old publications of historians. The paper’s aim is to verify the essential information about the diocese of Kamyanets, for the period before the onset of the Russian repressions following the November Uprising.
