The purpose of the research is to analyze and determine the scientific value of publications on the history and genealogy of the Galician nobility of the Austrian era, published by Ukrainian and Polish historians. The research methodology is based on the principles of historicism and methods for research in historiography. Scientific novelty. First, the scientific work of Polish and Ukrainian historians on the history and genealogy of the Galician nobility of the late 18th – early 20th centuries was analyzed. Conclusions. Over the past three decades, Ukrainian and Polish historians have produced considerable scientific work on the history and genealogy of the Galician nobility of the late 18th and early 20th centuries. It can be stated that the available publications reveal the fundamental aspects of the life of the Galician nobility. It is an absolute merit that these works reveal the legal basis of the transformation of the Galician nobility and its incorporation into the Austrian nobility, analyze the internal gradation of the nobility by property and legal status, present the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of this community as a separate social group, try to analyze its ethnic and status self-identification. To a large extent, Ukrainian historians in the person of Lyubov Slyvka and Polish historians in the person of Krysztof Slyusarek and Slawomir Huzynski reveal these different aspects. However, a number of points remain controversial and require additional study. The history and genealogy of the nobility of Galicia is also present in works of a genealogical, biographical and prosopographic nature. In them, to a lesser extent, you can come across conceptual questions dedicated to the nobility of Galicia, but they are definitely a valuable factual study of the history of individual families, clans and individuals.
