Багатогранна діяльність Пелагеї Яківни Литвинової-Бартош
(1833–1904) на сьогодні, на жаль, не відома широкому загалу і потребує ретельного вивчення. Творчий спадок дослідниці складають
окремі видання та публікації в тогочасній періодиці за напрямками: етнографія, фольклористика, статистика. Великий масив ще
неопрацьованого матеріалу з фамільного архіву родини Литвинових зберігається в архіві інституту мистецтвознавства, фольклористики та етнології ім. М. Рильського НАН України. Серед
мемуарів та нотаток приватного характеру, які належали родині Бартошів, Литвинових, наприклад, є чернетки повноцінних
видань, замальовки до публікацій в журналах, альбоми і щоденники, блокноти з ведення домашнього господарства і т. п. Серед
таких було знайдено документи, які розкривають зв’язок родини
Бартошів, Литвинових з селом Дубовичі. Представлені краєзнавчі розвідки висвітлюються вперше.
