Evalds Dajevskis (1914-1990) was a Latvian artist and theater set designer.

The collection contains the papers, stage design documentation, photographs, theatrical ephemera and other materials related to Evalds Dajevskis' life and career as a scenographer. The collection offers a profile of Dajevskis' life in Latvia during the formative years of his career. Examples of his stage design for his early career assignments include working on scenography for various smaller theater companies in Riga and other regional theaters. Color transparencies of this work were obtained from several Latvian museum archives researched by Peteris Dajevskis after his father's death in 1990.
