The Baltic States: Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania

Home

This guide serves as a portal for resources relating to Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. It contains links to various scholarly resources, including books from the UCLA library catalog; reference sources like online dictionaries, encyclopedias, and bibliographies; databases and indexes; e-book and journal collections; and online archives, image repositories, and maps. Please note that while some resources are freely available, others are subscription services provided by the UCLA Library, so remote access may be necessary when accessing from off-campus.
