The purpose of the article is to analyze the diverse activity of the Kostroma provincial
Statistical Committee members. The author examines the influence of the personnel on the effective
ness and efficiency of the provincial Statistical Committee work. Special attention is paid to the evolution
of legislation and regulation of membership in provincial Statistical Committees, and to analysis of their
social and professional structure.
Unpublished archival materials of the Kostroma provincial Statistical Committee of the second half
of the XIX century are used in the study. In addition, records and statistical materials, periodicals and
personal papers are examined. Special-historical (problem-chronological, historical-systemic and com
parative-historical methods) and general scientific methods (analysis, synthesis, induction and deduc
tion) are used in the study.
Due to the archival materials analysis, the author concludes that the Kostroma provincial Statistical
Committee stuff consisted of various social members. Local clergymen made up the committee majority.
It was a typical feature of the provincial Statistical Committees of the Russian Empire. The committee
stuff also consisted of raznochintsy and burghers, local merchants and even peasants. The ability and
desire to devote himself to the study of various province issues were the only condition for the Commit
tee membership. A wide social structure of the provincial Statistical Committees facilitated the democra
tization of their activities in the second half of the XIX century. An active part of the urban community,
representatives of the intelligentsia and officials also belonged to the Committee. The wide social struc
ture highly raised the status of the Committee and made it one of the leading scientific centers in the
province.
The research results provide a better understanding the special activities of provincial Statistical
Committees, which were a synthesis of state institution and scientific society, and identifying Commit
tees importance in the formation of national government statistics, their contribution to the scientific de
velopment, educational and local history activities in the Russian province in the second half of the 19th
century. The research materials can be used in the development of special courses and special semi
nars on local history, the statistics history, and the public life of Russian society in the post-reform
period.
