The article is devoted to the history of libraries in Beijing and Tianjin, closely connected with the history of the Russian emigration in China. For the first time there are analyzed the activities of the various libraries: religious, public and private. Special attention is paid to the individuals who build the library funds. The source for this article was formed by the collections of the Hamilton Library of the University of Hawaii (Honolulu, USA) and the Museum of the Russian Culture in San-Francisco, as well as by the holdings and catalogs of other American libraries, where the books, previously held by the Russian libraries in Beijing and Tianjin, were revealed.
