Abstract
The article is based on the report presented on March 12, 2024 at the International Conference of the St. Petersburg branch of the Archive of the Russian Academy of Sciences “Miller Readings – 2024”. Based on the materials stored in the ARAN SPbF, the history of the diploma of the St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences, an official document confirming membership in the Academy, has been restored. The appearance of the first academic diplomas (as well as its changes during 1735–1765), the time and frequency of their production and presentation, and the categories of diploma holders who were awarded them are established.
