The various forms and directions of the scientist’s activity in the field of archaeological monuments protection and preservation аre examined. Special attention is paid to the participation of I. Svieshnikov in activity of civil society organizations involved in the protection of monuments, particularly of Ukrainian society of historical and cultural monuments protection. It should be noted that it is difficult to define such activity of the scientist in the context of his scientific research achievements. But more specifically his activity can be noticed in cases involving the preservation of separate archaeological monuments and the participation of the scientist in the Heritage preservation organizations (particularly in Lviv regional organization of the Ukrainian Society of historical and cultural monuments preservation, the member of which the researcher had been for almost thirty years).
