On September 1, 2014, we lost our dear colleague and friend Dr. Linas Saldukas, a historian and a founding member of the Baltic Heritage Network.
This fall the Baltic community commemorated the 70th anniversary of the great escape that took thousands of Estonians, Latvians and Lithuanians to the West. In affiliation with that the Estonian Diaspora Academy in collaboration with Tallinn University Institute of History and Expatriate Estonian Literature Centre organized a conference for migration and diaspora researchers as well as archivists and museologists who are active in the field. The event took place at Tallinn University on September 18-19.
