Women in Latvia were able to study agriculture even before the famous Kaucminde home economics school was founded. This is indicated by little-known historical materials that reveal the contribution of the owners of the Budberg manor to the development of education in the late 19th century.

The evidence has reached the Bauska museum. After careful study, the new materials will be available to see at an exhibition, said Anita Rozentāle, editor-in-chief of the newspaper Bauskas Dzīve.

The source also notes that a suitcase was needed to bring the photographs to Bauska. It gives no further details about the scope or contents of the materials, or about when the exhibition will take place.
