The Lithuanian Research and Studies Center has been compiling Lithuanian
periodical publications for over 20 years (the Lithuanian World Archives – over 50
years). What are periodicals?  They are newspapers, magazines, journals, etc.,
published in a series, at regular intervals.  Over the last 50+ years, the Lithuanian
Research and Studies Center/Lithuanian World Archives has gathered collections
of over 2,300 titles of Lithuanian periodical publications, which is probably the
largest collection of its kind in the world.

In 1999, with the generous support of the Lithuanian Foundation, Inc., the
Lithuanian Research and Studies Center began the arduous task of compiling a
catalog of its periodicals holdings. In an effort to present complete collections in
the catalog, contact has been established with the existing publishers of the
periodicals, various libraries, other archives, and the Library of Congress. An
appeal to the Lithuanian community worldwide has proved a success in that the
LRSC has received numerous rare, older issues of various periodicals.  

To date, the catalog also lists some of the more important collections of Lithuanian
periodicals throughout the U.S.  Among them are: the University of Chicago Center
for Research Libraries, Kent State University Library, University of Pennsylvania
Library, New York Public Library, and University of Pittsburgh Library.
