The historical, 1889-2002, light curve of the eclipsing symbiotic binary AR Pav

We summarized the historical 1889.5-2001.8 light curve of the eclipsing symbiotic binary AR Pav. Our new photographic and visual estimates cover the period 1963-71 and 1998-2002, respectively. Strong variations in our new data are described. It is shown that the active phase of AR Pav suddenly finished at the epoch 66. Positions of the recent two minima slightly refined their average linear ephemeris.
