    • Overview

    The Lithuanian holdings contain significant materials on that country’s modern history. Some collections, including the Turauskas Papers, pertain to Lithuania's first period of independence and its loss of sovereignty following the Soviet annexation of the Baltic States. Other collections concern political repression under Soviet rule, broadcasts to Lithuania by Radio Liberty and Radio Free Europe during the Cold War, and the Lithuanian diaspora after World War II.
