The National Library of Latvia is a national cultural institution under the supervision of the Latvian Ministry of Culture. The National Library of Latvia was formed in 1919 after the independent Republic of Latvia was proclaimed in 1918. The first supervisor of the Library was Jānis Misiņš, a librarian and the founder of the Latvian scientific bibliography (1862–1945). Today the Library plays an important role in the development of Latvia's information society, providing Internet access to residents and supporting research and lifelong education. == Collections == One of the characteristic cornerstones of the NLL, which characterizes every national library, is the formation of the collection of national literature, its eternal storage and long-term access. The NLL is a centre of theoretical research and practical analyses of the activities of Latvian libraries. The Library carries out the functions of the centre of Latvia Interlibrary Loan, ensures the library and information service to the Parliament of the Republic of Latvia – the Saeima, implements the standardisation of the branch. Since the very outset, its main concern has been the national bibliography. The massive union catalogue "Ancient Prints in Latvian 1525 -1855 "(published in Riga, 1999), received Spīdola Prize in 2000 and was awarded "The Beautiful Book of the Year 99".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=About collection of NLL )〕 In 2005 "The Index of the Authors of Letonica Books (1523–1919)" was published, providing information about versatile branches of science and representatives of various nations, Latvia being the main focus of their publications. The NLL includes several collections of posters (artists Oskars Šteinbergs (1882–1937), Sigismunds Vidbergs (1890–1970), Raoul Dufy (1877–1953), Bernhard Borchert (1863–1945), Niklavs Strunke (1894–1966) and others). 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Treasures of the National Library of Latvia )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「National Library of Latvia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
