The Latvian libraries and archives license allows the bearer to keep publishing books and video, photographic, and auditory materials related to Latvian economic, geopolitical, and ethical heritage. It also authorizes an individual or organization to collect and maintain archival records, make these materials accessible to the public, regulate record-keeping in organizations and certify private museums, certify personal archives, and perform the other duties outlined in Archives Regulation.
A judgment of authorization allows the permission to engage in business activities in the domain of national records and archive administration, as long as certain fundamental services are provided. The benefits include storing transitory public records of organizations in compliance with documentation and archive administration, as well as providing scientific help to organizations in the field of documentation and archive administration.
Electromagnetic recordings, sound tapes, DVDs, and compact CDs are the most common formats found in sound archives. Discussions, lectures, literature readings, telephone conversations, and political events are all captured in the document archives. The National Archives Management of Latvia issues this license.
