The Archive of Algis Kabaila

The Lithuanian Diaspora Institute at VMU has received the archive of Algis Kabaila (1925-2021), the first Honorary Consul of the Republic of Lithuania in Australia and an active member of the Lithuanian Australian Community. Kabaila’s son, Peter Rimas Kabaila, donated the archive to the Institute.

The archive relates to the activities of Lithuanian Australians at the dawn of Lithuania’s independence and after 1990, when the Lithuanian Australian Community was involved in the attempts to secure the recognition of Lithuania’s independence from the government of Australia. It also contains documents related to the establishment of diplomatic relations between Lithuania and Australia; the establishment of a consulate in Australia; and the activities of the first Honorary Consul of the Republic of Lithuania in Australia, Algis Kabaila (1991-1994).
