This article analyzes the identified, ownership inscriptions, stamps on books from the personal library of V. I. Alatyrev, stored in the Scientific Library of the UdmFRC Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The Udmurt linguist’s book collection has been in the library’s collection for several years – from 1944 to 1983. 342 books were donated by the owner himself, 5 books were identified in other private collections and donated to the Scientific Library. A total of 7 books published in 1850–1907 were analyzed. These copies are included in the library’s collection of rare documents, that is why studying the private book collection is one of the urgent tasks. As a result of the research, the author comes to the conclusion that the ownership marks can tell about the origin of some books from the scientist’s personal library. Three books were acquired from the disbanded library collections of the Sveyaborg Marine Library, scientific libraries of Leningrad universities through second-hand bookstores. Four editions from the book collection of V. A. Alatyrev previously belonged to well-known personalities in Russia: M. Fasmer, K. M. Ushakov, S. N. Bykovsky.
