In 1990-1991, the Museum of the History of Riga and Navigation put on an exhibition about student organizations before the Soviet occupation in 1940. Artefacts were displayed in the exhibition that could not be displayed before for political reasons: flags and other attributes of fraternities and other student organizations, as well as many photographs showing their traditions and activities, including pictures from the collection of photographic negatives of Krišs Rake (1897-1965), which was acquired by the museum at the beginning of the 1970s.
