Scientific paper

The spatial orientations and absolute values of angular momentum are determined for galaxies in the Local Group and the M81/IC 342 group. Data on both the velocity field and dust knot configuration have been used. Spin direction has been established unambiguously for 21 objects; for the remaining 14 dwarf members the spin orientations are represented by pairs of alternative directions. The distribution of the spin vectors in the sky does not show pronounced signs of anisotropy.
