Charles Plavin – Charles Plavin Homestead
In 2010 Imanta collaborated with Athabasca University to record the memories and collections of many Latvians who immigrated Alberta. Interviews were conducted and recorded when possible. Hundreds of pictures were scanned. It took a few years, but eventually everything was digitized and put into the Athabasca University Repository. To view the collected information open the ‘View Collections’ tab. Athabasca University Repository – Imanta
