Riga now online at Sites of Memory...
Of the more than 90 memorials I photographed while in Riga in September, 55 of them are now online:

Some of the descriptions are only cursory and not all the inscriptions are translated yet. But the photos are now online for viewing. They include complete visual documentation of the famous Brethren Cemetery, the execution site memorial at Rumbula, Bikernieki forest, and the concentration camp memorial complex in Salaspils.
The rest should be up over the next several weeks. Among the missing memorials there are the centennial marker for the Latvian song festivals, the "white crosses" for Latvian deportees, and numerous memorials to individual persons or more minor events.
