Summary/Abstract: The archive records from the Dominican monastery in Kam’yanets’ Podil’s’kiy were partially destroyed after its dissolution in 1843, and these which remained were taken away and dispersed around many archives and libraries in Poland and Ukraine. In the National Library in Warsaw survived e.g. an 18th century cartulary with documents from this monastery. In Kam’yanets’, in the archives of the local Historical Museum, survived a bound manuscript book which contains the album of entries and the documentation of the joint Rosary and Holy Name of Jesus fraternities from 1605, and from the end of the 17th century also of the Holy Name of Mary fraternity. These entries are continued up to 1912. In a few years’ time an edition of the codex with a scientific commentary is going to be published. Moreover, what is stored in a District Archive in Proskuriv (currently Khmel’nyts’kiy) are the protocols of inspections by bishops of Kam’yanets’ Podil’s’kiy from the years 1823-1827, 1846 and 1857-1858, which illustrate the agony of the Dominican monasteries under the Russian reign in Podolia.
