ŽIBURIO ARCHIVE · LITHUANIAN DIASPORA MATERIALS

The Žiburio Archive

Books carried across borders. Culture carried through time.

The Žiburio Archive brings Lithuanian diaspora books, periodicals, and community records into a public catalog, one item at a time.

The collection grew from Žiburio Lithuanian School in Detroit. Through the Archive’s continuing partnership with the school, students photograph and document the items; Archive reviewers compare catalog proposals with source images, preserve provenance, and state uncertainty honestly.

Browse the books, then follow the people, places, publishers, and institutions that recur across the collection.

A memory architecture

Save Our Lithuanian Parishes

A catalog record is a beginning. When reviewed sources are connected across people, places, institutions, events, publications, and time, they can support a larger public record. Save Our Lithuanian Parishes is a memory architecture of Lithuanian parishes built from that work, bringing Žiburio materials together with newspapers, maps, directories, official records, and other archives while keeping the path back to each source visible.
