The article is devoted to the study of the history of the Academy of Sciences in Azerbaijan based on materials from the publication “Academy - a collection of documents: resolutions, protocols, correspondence (1920-1991)”. This two-volume set contains documents covering the period from 1920 to 1991, before the beginning of a new period, which largely changed the course of the political leadership of the AR and its scientific leadership. The paper presents documents that define the basis of the activities of the Academy of Sciences. Here we consider official government decisions, resolutions, decrees, texts of statutes, programs, protocols, correspondence, reflecting the processes of development of science, both in the USSR and particular in Azerbaijan.
