For the first time, the article presents an overview and analysis of periodicals received in Velikoustyug-sky district of Vologda province at the turn of the 19th–20th centuries, which determines its scientific novelty. The purpose of the study is to show the activity of the readership in the province during the period under study using the example of one of the major eastern centers of the province. The main sources were the reports of the Veliky Ustyug postal and Telegraph office from the funds of the state archives of the Arkhangelsk and Yaroslavl regions and the municipal archive of Veliky Ustyug. The application of the principles of historicism, contextuality, consistency, statistical analysis and historical and typological method of working with sources allowed us to obtain accurate quantitative indicators and identify thematic groups. As a result of the study, an increase in the number of newspapers and magazines received through the postal and telegraph department was revealed. The most popular among them were inexpensive publications with interesting articles on history, public thought, politics, the publication of literary works, in particular the magazines “Niva” and “Church Gazette”, the newspaper “Rural Bulletin”. The main reasons for the increasing popularity of periodicals were the increase in liter-acy of the population, the improvement of medical knowledge, scientific and technical discoveries, pro-gressive changes in industry and trade, etc.
