[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Old German newspapers - in Latvian NationalLibrary

[Helen Gillespie]

I may not have been very clear.  Apologies.


For the main Periodical search page    - https://periodika.lndb.lv/   and
click on EN on the upper right for English - just for the search page
info.  Then choose the filters once you type in your search subject.

Hope this works better.
