The history of study of Siberian freshwater malacofauna between the end of XVIII and the middle of XX centuries (year 1952) is outlined. Data about professional malacologists, who studied Siberian molluscs, are given as well as information about most important collections of Siberian freshwater malacofauna of this period. The history of formation of continental molluscs collection of the Zoological Institute RAS (formerly Imperial Zoological Museum in SanktPetersburg) is traced. The history of study of Siberian freshwater molluscs is divided into three stages: “primordial” (second half of XVIII — middle of XIX centuries), “expeditionary” (middle of XIX — middle of XX centuries), and “regional” (middle of XX century — present).
