The article deals with archival materials concerning the contribution of Tobolsk Museum to the preservation of architectural monuments of the XVIIth-XVIIIth centuries. The work of the museum is shown on the example of their defensive strategy for Tobolsk Church of the Epiphany, the first pa-rochial church in the lower part of the town. In the middle of 1930s - the end of the 1940-s the mu-seum staff worked hard for transferring of the former church’s building under the museum’s manage-ment. Specialists aimed to use the building as a historical object and to save it for the future. The work was conducted by all available means, but the church was finally lost in 1948.
