Resources on Baltic Countries
- The library has been steadily collecting Latvian, Lithuanian, and Estonian
materials for several decades. Lithuanian materials number approximately
10,000, Latvian materials -- 7,500, and Estonian -- almost 3,000 titles,
with many of the major titles in Latvian and Lithuanian literature and history
represented. Valters Nollendorfs, Professor Emeritus of German Literature, and the
late Valdis J. Zeps, Professor of Slavic and Baltic Languages and Linguistics,
were instrumental in the acquisition of Latvian emigre books for Memorial
Library. The Baltic Studies Center, headed by the late Valdis J. Zeps, was
responsible for a couple of publications on linguistics of the Baltic
countries. The
Department of Special Collections houses both a
Latvian collection and the Alfred Senn Collection, a collection of
Lithuanian materials consisting of 132 volumes, mostly in Lithuanian,
from the period of independence, 1920-1940. Alfred Erich Senn, the son of
Professor Alfred Senn, has added to the collection materials documenting the
independence movement of Lithuania, 1972 to date.
The acquisition of materials from these countries continues through exchanges
with their libraries.
