The 'Action of Light‘ (Gaismas akcija) was an organisation founded by Paulis Kļaviņš in the 1970s, and registered in the USA in 1977, and in West Germany in 1978. The aims of the organisation were: 1) to provide Christians in Latvia with religious literature and information about religious life in the West; 2) to inform Western society about religious persecution, repressions against religious and political dissidents, and life in Soviet Latvia in general; 3) to organise protest actions against the persecution of dissidents in the USSR, and in the Baltic Republics in particular. The organisation provided an opportunity for émigré Latvians, as well as non-Latvians in the West, to participate in Gaismas akcija in five possible ways: 1) as couriers taking money, literature (copied on microfilm), medicines for political prisoners, etc, on tourist trips to Latvia; 2) as social activists, advocates of the cause; 3) by participating in demonstrations and other street actions; 4) by writing letters to dissidents and political prisoners in Latvia, and protest letters to Soviet functionaries; 5) by providing regular or irregular donations to the organisation.

Besides books (more than 25 million items), journals and manuscripts, its vast collections contain photographs, newspapers, patents, maps, and music and sound recordings. It holds unique materials of great importance for European and world history. The most treasured holdings include Magna Carta, Leonardo da Vinci's Notebook, the first edition of The Times (1788), the recording of Nelson Mandela's Rivonia trial speech. The archives represent every age of written civilization – there are Chinese oracle bones over 3.000 years old and today’s newspapers’ issues.

Moreover, the British Library holds collections which could not have been gathered in different countries for institutional or ideological reasons, like the dissent materials and samizdat publications produced in socialist Poland.
