Slovenian Diaspora Publications Collection

The collection acquires, stores, provides access to and makes available library material created by Slovenians living abroad. As a corpus separatum, it keeps the core of D-collection "Forbidden Literature from 1945 to 1991" (so-called D-fund), which was set apart from the rest of the material (emigrant and diaspora) from the very beginning of the collection’s creation.

Activity:

• Collecting library material created by Slovenes living around the world,
•  supplementing the NUK library collection with Slovenian literary works and works about the Slovenian language and literature (Slovenika) published abroad,
• updating the basic D-collection – Forbidden literature from 1945 to 1991,
• expanding the collection with Slovenian refugee prints between 1945 and 1949 from refugee camps in Austria and Italy,
• supplementing the collection with emigrant literary and archival legacies, and material brought to Slovenia by returnees,
• scientific-research and development work relating to the collection material,
• providing bibliographic and professional information on material of Slovenes living around the world,
