In 1862 Wolstenholme proved that for any prime $p\ge 5$ the numerator of thefraction $$ 1+\frac 12 +\frac 13+...+\frac{1}{p-1}  $$ written in reduced form is divisible by $p^2$, $(2)$ and the numerator ofthe fraction  $$ 1+\frac{1}{2^2} +\frac{1}{3^2}+...+\frac{1}{(p-1)^2}  $$ written in reduced form is divisible by $p$. The first of the abovecongruences, the so called {\it Wolstenholme's theorem}, is a fundamentalcongruence in combinatorial number theory. In this article, consisting of 11sections, we provide a historical survey of Wolstenholme's type congruences andrelated problems. Namely, we present and compare several generalizations andextensions of Wolstenholme's theorem obtained in the last hundred and fiftyyears. In particular, we present more than 70 variations and generalizations ofthis theorem including congruences for Wolstenholme primes. These congruencesare discussed here by 33 remarks.  The Bibliography of this article contains 106 references consisting of 13textbooks and monographs, 89 papers, 3 problems and Sloane's On-Line Enc. ofInteger Sequences. In this article, some results of these references are citedas generalizations of certain Wolstenholme's type congruences, but without theexpositions of related congruences. The total number of citations given here is189.
