The National Museum in Canberra, in connection with my donated “Nīcas” national dress, is asking me for help to get some pictures of Riga in the 1930-ies and 40-ies to be used in some presentations and lectures. Any ideas?

I have found old pictures of Riga on internet by Googling for
something else.

E-bay has quite a large selection of photos and post cards from Latvia up for sale that cover all of the country. Many are from the 1920s and 1930s.

Diena has been running a great series of galleries to commemorate the 90. anniversary of LV.
They even break it down by years.
