His portrait appeared on the 100-lat banknote prior to the Lat being replaced by the Euro in 2014, his being the only human face of an actual person on modern Latvian currency.

Barons, in the same introduction to Latvju dainas, wrote: "Then in the month of January 1892 I was surprised by a kind letter from St. Petersburg, from Mr. Wissendorff, in which he offered his support for the publication of the edition.

It is highly likely that based on the popular idea of the time, that of the Latvian-Lithuanian great nation, he suggested to Barons the word "daina", which is actually Lithuanian, and which became the title of the edition.

Although Visendorfs took no part in editing and arranging the texts, his contribution performing organisational tasks, reading the preprints of the volumes published in St. Petersburg, and providing his advice was significant enough to earn a place for his name on the title page, although Prof. Pēteris Šmits objected to it.

To collect from the mute parishes, 30 years after the publication of Latvju dainas was started, Latviesu folkloras krātuve began its activities.

Barons efforts to collect folklore and dainas were vital for the emergence of Dievturība, a Baltic neopagan movement established by Ernests Brastiņš and Kārlis Marovskis-Bregžis in the 1920s.

His descendants are currently residing in the United States, primarily located in a small town in western Pennsylvania called Grove City.
