ENGThe University of Latvia Livonian Institute
The
University of Latvia Livonian Institute (founded in 2018) focuses its work on
modern and multi-faceted research into the Livonians – one of Latvia’s
indigenous nations. The Institute is developing digital resources for the
research, learning, and popularisation of Livonian language and culture and
their integration into other fields as well as use of research results,
methods, and resources for the study and preservation of the world’s endangered
languages.
The
UL Livonian Institute is creating and developing an interconnected group of
Livonian language and culture databases, which currently includes Livonian
language lexical and morphological databases, an indexed Livonian language
corpus, a Livonian text archive as well as a Livonian place name database
linked to geospatial information. Planned future additions to this group
include data from digital collections on Livonian topics (ethnographic object
collections, folklore collections, audio recording collections, etc.) located
in other countries.
The
UL Livonian Institute is in active cooperation with Livonian and other
community organisations, local governments, state institutions, and
entrepreneurs. The Institute’s research partners include the University of Tartu,
Uppsala University, Budapest Eötvös Loránd University, the University of
Helsinki, the Georg-August University of Göttingen, the University of Tromsø,
and the University of Colorado Boulder.
