The photo album brings together 100 photographs from 23 archives and museums across the Baltic States. The book is the result of several years of research carried out by a team of researchers in collaboration with the Roma community. The album features archival photographs depicting Roma communities in all three Baltic countries before the Second World War. The selected photographs include historical themes (traditional clothing, travelling and camping, markets, fortune-telling, horses, clashes with the police, issues related to genocide), as well as studio portraits and images that challenge stereotypes and present Roma as an equal part of civil society.
