Abstract
The literature about V.N. Avtokratov evaluates his contribution to the theory of archival studies. It is noted that Avtokratov’s approach to the fund formation process as to a particular manifestation of a cause-and-effect relationship is the backbone element of the “general theory of archival studies”. The aim of the present research is to show the enormous positive impact of V.N. Avtokratov’s works on the development of source studies and on the formation of the Scientific and Pedagogical School of Source Studies within the framework of the Department of Source Studies of the Institute for History and Archives at the turn of the 20th-21st centuries. The articles published by Avtocratov in the 1960s – 1970s at that time already were conceptualized and perceived by the scientific community. The appearance at that time of a number of studies based on the analysis of inventories proves to be its striking confirmation. In subsequent years, the staff of the Department of Source Studies of the Institute for History and Archives of the Russian State University for the Humanities proclaimed a thesis about the reflection in the sources system of the past culture projection. The thesis was confirmed in historical and source studies. The efficacy of such an approach to sources has also been demonstrated. The works of that school researchers working within this school deal with the document complexes of various scales.
