Lettonica and Baltic Reading Room

The Lettonica and Baltic Reading Room is named after Georg Friedrich Stender (1714–1796), a Baltic German pastor, linguist, founder of the Latvian secular literary tradition, natural scientist and representative of philosophical thought, who contributed greatly to Latvian education and language development. 

Readers receive books from the Lettonica collection after placing an order in the electronic catalog, but some publications are freely available in the reading room. 

The collection materials are available to registered NLL readers.

Printed works and other materials from the Lettonica collection are intended for on-site use in the Lettonica and Baltic Reading Rooms.

In the Lettonica and Baltic Reading Room, readers have access to individual study rooms intended for in-depth study and research of sources and literature.
