Stanford Libraries and Vabamu have launched a new online exhibit, \u201cThe Aim is Freedom: A History of Occupations and Independence in Estonia.\u201d The exhibit, which was curated by making use of Stanford’s online exhibit platform Spotlight, draws material from Vabamu’s collection of manuscripts and artifacts and explains the historical events through personal stories. The exhibit introduces the history of Estonia during the Nazi and Soviet occupations and describes the story of the restoration of Estonia\u2019s independence in the 1980s and 1990s.<\/p>\n

Piret Karro, Vabamu\u2019s Curator and Exhibitions Manager commented, \u201cWith the exhibition, we can make key objects of Vabamu’s collections accessible as well as introduce Estonia\u2019s recent history in the years 1939\u20131991 internationally. Visitors to the online exhibition will learn about the turbulent changes of power between Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia during World War II, they will learn about the tools and systems that were used to maintain a totalitarian regime. The exhibition ends with the 1980-1990s by telling the story of the Singing Revolution and showing how Estonians organized effectively to restore their independence. The online exhibition showcases personal stories that give an insight into the restoration of Estonian freedom.\u201d<\/p>\n

Students from Tallinn, Tartu, and Stanford helped to put together the exhibition during their internships at Vabamu. Anna-Kristiina Pae, a student at the Institute of Cultural Sciences of the University of Tartu said, \u201cThanks to this experience, I got a better overview of what it means to work in a museum, how a project is being prepared, and what cooperation between different organizations looks like.”<\/p>\n

The joint exhibit was the culmination of SUL’s and Vabamu’s recent collaborative digitization project, in which SUL acquired digital files of 200 artifacts that represent key holdings of the Vabamu collections. During the project, SUL and Vabamu produced new English-language metadata for the material, enhancing global access to the content. The collection is publicly accessible at Stanford Libraries as the Vabamu Museum of Occupations and Freedom Key Artifacts Collection, 1939-1991.<\/p>\n

Vabamu’s team is thankful to student interns who helped with the project: Karolina Frei and Karl-Erik Laurents from Tallinn University, Oskar Poll and Anna-Kristiina Pae from the University of Tartu, and Barbara Florence Sanford and Michael Byrne Carragee from Stanford University.<\/p>\n
