Abstract. The article presents not previously published archive data and copies of documents about Lieberman Yakov Yulievich, the first director of the Petrograd Bacteriological Institute named after Pasteur (now called Saint Petersburg Pasteur Institute). Based on the personal testimony of Ya.Yu. Lieberman, Pyotr Petrovich Maslakovets and Georgii Dmitrievich Belonovsky (the founders and leaders of the Institute) preserved in the archive funds of the Directorate of the Federal Security Service (FSB) of Russian Federation for St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region, and taking into account the Act of the Commission for the Institute Inspection from December 1930, provided in the article, the authors consistently trace the path of transformations that the Institute has undergone since its foundation. These data are illustrated by copies of publication advertisements contained in the annual city reference book "All Petersburg" for years 1910, 1911, 1912, 1914, 1923, 1924, and 1925 (from the funds of the National Library of Russia). The article also contains copies of official documents dated 1913 and 1914 and stored in the funds of the Central State Historical Archive of St. Petersburg. All documents provided establish the fact that the date of creation of the Institute is 1908.
