ABSTRACT
SUMMARY. The author discusses one of the gaps in Latvian national bibliographic coverage, that of calendars (or almanacs). Bibliographies of these calendars do not exist, and a project has been started at the Latvian Academic Library in Riga to compile a complete list of publications in this category and make the information accessible via a database. The author discusses the history of Latvian calendars and how they reflect various cultural systems, national customs, social traditions, and esthetic tastes. The paper then discusses the methodology of compiling the database, bibliographic standards used, and means of accessing contents of calendars via indexing and keywords.
