It publishes a journal "Gogol Research Studios" which includes the results of further research: Gogol works of his last years of life, bibliographic data about Gogol, Gogol and Christianity, Ukrainian novelettes of Gogol, etc.
The Centre's history dates back to 1854 when the Gymnasium of Higher Sciences teacher's recollections about Gogol were published in the magazine "Moskvytianyn". The Gogol Research Centre had its ups (the beginning of the XX century) and downs (20-ies, 60–ies). Still, there were all necessary conditions for the development of the Centre: an extensive archive database, original manuscripts of some Gogol's works and the materialistic culture of Nizhyn that had an impact on Gogol's artistic world formation.
Nizhyn Gogol Research Centre's modern history dates back to 1979 when at Nizhyn Pedagogical Institute All-Union Scientific Conference "Gogol and modernity" was held. More than 150 scientists from different republics of the former USSR took part in that event. That year was the beginning of active Gogol's theme research. Many materials were published: scientific works about Gogol, materials of seminars, aids for teachers.
