The article attempts to trace the scientific achievements of Polish, Slovak and Ukrainian  scholars in the studies of national identity of the Lemkos. Our approach is novel in the sense that it considers the entirety of historiography concerned with Lemkivshchyna - as an integral historical and ethnographic region, which is justified in terms of science and methodology. The attention is focused on specific periodization, which allows one to isolate specific stages in the historiography of Lemkivshchyna. In this context, the studies dating from the last quarter of the 19th century and the early 20th century are particularly valuable. A number of works written in that period have lost nothing of their relevance. It has already been emphasized that the early 1990s were the most productive period for the Polish, Slovak and Ukrainian research of  Lemkivshchyna. Undoubtedly, the intensity of democratic feeling in Central-Eastern Europe played a part. \ Particular attention is paid to the analysis of Polish historiography. At the same time, the authors stress that the issues receives significantly less attention from the Ukrainian researchers, which results in a small number of publications. The authors conclude that all in all, despite a certain number of available scientific treatises, a comprehensive ethnological study of the historical and ethnographic region of Lemkivshchyna is still lacking. Such studies should define the features of creating and consolidating national identity of the Lemkos. Indeed, embarking on and publishing extensive and complex historical-ethnological studies would negate the existing biased interpretations regarding this issue.
