Summary/Abstract: The paper presents previously unknown manuscript of Vandalin Shukevich which was found at the archive of the Ethnographic Museum in Krakow. The manuscript contains the list of the objects forming an ethnographic collection donated by Shukevich to the museum in 1913. The paper focuses on Belarusian dialectological denominations of these objects and tends to evaluate the importance of the manuscript for further dialectological studies. Also lexical comparative analysis of dialect forms aiming to identify research lacunae of the Northwest dialectological area and to determine the degree of language interferences at the Baltic-Slavic language border was made.
