Abstract: The article is devoted to the study of provenance on books from monastery and parish libraries preserved in the former library of the Berdychiv Social, Historical, and Economic Museum (1926—1953). It is stated, after the museum was closed in 1953, its library was transferred to the State Public Library of the Ukrainian SSR and today, in the amount of 3374 copies, is kept in the Department of Library Collections and Historical Collections of the Institute of Book Studies of the V. I. Vernadskyi National Library of Ukraine. The studied editions of the former museum library are a fragment of the library of the Barefoot Carmelite Order monastery in Berdychiv, which was restored in 1918, as well as several libraries of various parishes of the Roman Catholic and Orthodox Churches. Bookmarks on publications from the above libraries are analyzed and described through the prism of the historical context and events that influenced the fate of monastic and parish collections of literature.
