DOI: https://doi.org/10.37222/2524-0315-2024-16(32)-12
The article analyzes three archival documents related to the history of Lviv during the First World War. They are part of the archival fond of the Dzieduszycki family (fond 45), preserved in the Manuscript Department of Vasyl Stefanyk National Scientific Library of Ukraine in Lviv. The documents allow for a more detailed study of the history of the unveiling of the Iron Knight sculpture in Lviv. This initiative was a form of aid to the military and civilians affected by the war events. The event took place in 1916 and was part of a statewide practice in Austro-Hungary.
Keywords: Lviv, Austo-Hungary, First World War, Nailed Monuments, historical sources.
