Lithuania - Library and Archives of Canada Transfers Consular Files to Government of Lithuania Print E-mail
2011-06-01

At the request of the Government of Lithuania, Library and Archives Canada
(LAC) is today transferring 1400 original consular files of Lithuanian
Canadians to the Lithuanian State Archives. This move is in accordance with
LAC's initiative to collaborate with peer institutions in determining the
most appropriate place for a collection to reside.
 
Digitized versions of the files, which cover the period from 1924 to 1960,
will remain part of LAC's holdings for future consultations by Canadians,
including researchers and Lithuanian Canadians interested in their history.
