The article discusses the methodological premises of inventories of historical Polish cemeteries in Podolia, conducted since 1998 by the Institute of the History of Art at the Cardinal Stefan Wyszynski University in Warsaw. The authors present the object of the inventory campaign, the general methodological principles and the organisation of the work carried out according to a topographic and chronological key. Attention has been drawn to the necessity of rendering the prepared inventories uniform according to so-called blank sheets and making them available in the form of published catalogues. Apparently, at present a complete and thorough documentation of necropolises in the former Eastern Borderlands, subjected to a gradual but unavoidable devastation, constitutes the only way of salvaging memory about them.
