Karlis Ulmanis, Latvian & Baltic History Collection
Scope and Contents
The Ulmanis, Latvian, and Baltic History Collection is divided into four main series: Kārlis Ulmanis, Latvian History, Baltikum, and Photos and Artifacts. The collection consists of primary documents, books, scholarly articles, journals, magazines, newspapers, photos, videos, artifacts and audio and visual materials pertaining to Kārlis Ulmanis and Latvian and Baltic history. The collection is of special interest to the University and Nebraska in that Kārlis Ulmanis is the only UNL alumni to ever become president of a country and also because of the large Latvian community that immigrated to Lincoln following the Second World War. The collection is especially useful for scholars interested in European interwar dictatorships and the failure of democracy, as well as those interested in Latvian, Baltic, and Soviet and Russian history. The collection certainly would be enlightening for those interested in immigration to America in the 20th century. Some of the highlights of the materials includes hand-written notes and postcards from Ulmanis, Latvian money, stamps, state documents and materials on some of the most prominent individuals within the Baltics.
