The article is devoted to the introduction into scientific circulation of two important sources for the intellectual biography of the founder of the Nizhny Novgorod historical tradition S.I. Arkhangelsky (1882-1958). The first source is the letters from S.I. Arkhangelsky to Academician S.F. Platonov in the 1920s. The second source is the text of S.I. Arkhangelsky to students of history - «Some advice to a novice, young historian» (1951-1953). Both sources can be attributed to egodocuments. They provide important information on the history of historical science in Russia and Nizhny Novgorod. Both sources allow us to consider the biography of S.I. Arkhangelsky from a historical and anthropological point of view and present the evolution of his views on the historical process, the formation and development of areas of scientific research.
