Archives of Linguists. In Lithuania archives of linguists have never been collected, managed and stored on a systematic basis. In 2007 the Archive of Linguists was opened at the Institute of the Lithuanian Language. Modern depositories store the archives of Jonas Paulauskas (1923-2003), a major lexicographer of Lithuania, Elena Grinaveckienė (1928-1999), a famous dialectologist, Kazimieras Ulvydas (1910-1996), one of the authors of the academic edition of the Lithuanian Grammar (Lietuvių kalbos gramatika), editor of the Dictionary of Lithuanian (Lietuvių kalbos žodynas), Jonas Kruopas, a famous terminologist and lexicographer, editor of the Dictionary of Lithuanian (Lietuvių kalbos žodynas) and others. The Archive also keeps part of the Lithuanian archive of Vladimir Toporov (1928-2005), a world-known specialist in Baltic and Indo-European languages and mythologist.

The Reading Room of the Library invites researchers and students to use the resources and gain access to the latest publications on linguistics. Some of them are only available in our library.
