Abstract
This article explores the history of the formation of Seraya Markovich Shapshal’s second collection, the establishment of the Karaim Historical and Ethnographic Museum in Trakai based on it, the museum's operation and closure, as well as the subsequent history of the collection’s items. The study is based on documents preserved in the archive of Shapshal’s foundation, housed in the Wróblewski Library of the Lithuanian Academy of Sciences, and on records from the Ministry of Religious Denominations and Public Education (MWRiOP) of Poland, stored in the Archives of Modern Records in Warsaw (AAN MWRiOP).
