A new archival website, diaspora.archyvai.lt, has been launched, providing easy access to the documentary heritage of the Lithuanian diaspora stored in archives, museums, libraries and other institutions in Lithuania and abroad. Currently, it features over 800 holdings from the Lithuanian communities in the USA, Canada, Brazil, Argentina, Australia, the UK and Estonia, including documents
from notable individuals.
The website also contains material on Lithuanian diplomatic missions and the cultural heritage of diaspora organizations.
The new e-platform is a dynamic community space, where visitors can contribute information using a simple form.
Some of the listed collections and holdings are digitized and publicly available. The e-platform encourages sharing new stories to ensure the preservation of history for future generations.
