Abstract

The article is devoted to the history of geographical exploration of the North Caucasus in the 18th – first half of the 19th century. It is shown that the region, little explored in the pre-Petrine times, began to be actively studied in the Petrine era (in particular, in the course of the Persian Campaign organized by Peter I). The establishment of the Academy of Sciences in St. Petersburg gave a particularly significant impetus to the exploration of the North Caucasus: the efforts of the 18th century Academic Expeditions set in motion the complex scientific investigation of the region. The contribution of the military has also been looked into. The source base for this study includes the archival materials deposited in various Russian archives, including the regional holdings. Considerable volume of factual material (manuscripts, reports concerning the highland peoples, topographic notes, etc.), stored in the archives, requires detailed studies and analysis, as most of these contain valuable data about the region that have not been introduced for scientific use yet.
