Notes
Similar to other encyclopedias produced during the 1970's and 1980's for the various Soviet Republics with an emphasis on Latvian issues.. Entries generally are short. There are numerous illustrations (many of them colored), high quality maps, and numerous black and white portrait photographs that accompany nearly every biography. Volume 10 is in two parts. The second part consists of supplementarly biographical and geographical entries (updating earlier entries with information such as death dates for persons who died since the original entry appeared), plus personal and geographic name indexes for the entire encyclopedia.
