Summary / Abstract:

ENThe article discusses the holdings of books and other documents of prewar Jewish provenance in several Lithuanian libraries and archives. They are the documents of an ambivalent status, and not the ones that were legally acquired before the World War II. During the after-war decades different deliberations and changing agreements on theirstatus were presented locally and internationally. However, most of the objects were not moved, and the article presents their current situation as to the status, processing, accessibility and inclusion in projects of international partnership that presented new ways of sharing with the academic and general public. Keywords: Vilnius, Lithuanian National Library, Lithuanian Central State Archives, Vilna Project. [From the publication]
