Participants

National and State Archives from all countries around the Baltic Sea cooperate to uncover their shared past

From every country around the Baltic Sea, one archival organisation participated in the Baltic Connections project. With the exeption of Germany and Russia, each organisation was responsible for carrying out all activities in its own country and described all relevant archival materials in its country, including materials kept by other repositories.
