The purpose of the paper is to determine the state of research on the peculiarities of mapping and cartographic works of Lviv and, on this basis, to develop tasks for continuing such research on systematic foundations using GIS technologies. Methodology. The theoretical and methodological basis of the research was formed by modern ideas about the significance of a map as an important document of geospatial information and about cartography as a crucial method of recording the state of events and phenomena. The research methodology is based on the principles of historicism, objectivity, systematicity, and comprehensiveness. The methods used in the study include structural-functional and bibliographic analysis, analytical and comparative analysis. Results. Numerous plans of Lviv have long been the subject of research by scholars and specialists. The analysis of previous research has revealed certain gaps along with obvious achievements, primarily in the field of cartography. There is still no complete list of published and manuscript plans of Lviv, and not all periods of the city’s mapping have been properly studied. Geoinformation technologies were practically not used in the analysis of the plans. The study of the accuracy of Lviv’s plans using GIS tools is at the initial stage. Based on the study of the state of research on city plans, we propose the main areas of systematic investigation of the cartographic heritage of Lviv. The result of the cartographic and bibliographic research will be a bibliographic index of printed and manuscript plans of Lviv. The creation of a bibliographic index of literature on the history of mapping in Lviv will complete the historiographical research. The use of geoinformation technologies will have a decisive influence on further research of the plans. A geoportal of the city plans is currently being created. This will present available printed and manuscript plans, as well as historical reconstruction plans. The geoportal will become a high-quality source of information on ancient plans for research by specialists in various fields. It will also perform an important public function of preserving the national cartographic heritage. The scientific novelty of the research is to identify the main areas of systematic study of Lviv’s plans: cartographic bibliography, historiography, creation of a geoportal, and use of geoinformation technologies. The practical significance of the research results is the generalised information on the study of the cartographic heritage of Lviv and its historiography, places of storage of ancient plans.
