Estonian Archives in the United States (EAU), Records. HISTORICAL SKETCH

Collecting of Estonian-American materials began before the establishment of the Estonian Archives in the U.S. This included valuable materials from more than a century ago. The overwhelming abundance of preserved, collected and deposited materials has come from Estonians who immigrated to America from the Displaced Persons Camps in Germany, 1945-1950. As a result of a formal appeal in 1965 for additional material about that the DP period a substantial collection was in place and archived. This was initially housed for safe keeping in numerous Estonian American homes.


 * Archives Portal Europe provides access to information on archival material from Belgium as well as information on archival institutions throughout the European continent.
