To the Issue of the Pedagogical Periodical Press of the Warsaw School District (1867–1916)

The paper examines the pedagogical periodical press of the Warsaw School District in the period of 1867-1916.The attention is paid to the geographical distribution of these publications, as well as to the internal criticism of these publications as a historical source.The source base of our research is based on materials from pre-revolutionary periodicals and highly specialized reference works on the history of periodicals.Methodologically, the work is based on the method of content analysis, thanks to which a selection of periodicals published in 1867-1916 was made on the territory of the Warsaw School District.The authors conclude that 6 scientific pedagogical publications were published on the territory of the Warsaw Educational District in the period from 1867 to 1916.All of them were associated with either the Imperial Warsaw University or the Warsaw School District.The first two magazines ("Tsirkulyar po Varshavskomu uchebnomu okrugu" and "Russkii filologicheskii vestnik") existed for more than 30 years.Moreover, the "Russkii filologicheskii vestnik" has become an authoritative and recognizable publication in the scientific and pedagogical life of the Russian Empire.Another, later popular, publication for physicists was published in Warsaw -the journal "Fizicheskoe obozrenie".This journal was published in Warsaw in 1900-1905, and then moved to Kiev.Among the other publications, the journal "Domashnee i shkol'noe obrazovanie" (the period of publication 1911-1914) was distinguished by great longevity, while two other publications ("Voprosy pedagogiki" and "Ekho universiteta") ceased publication in the first year of its existence.
