. "Institute for Ethnic Studies is a public research institute and has six organizational units:\r\n- Research Unit, the central unit of the Institute, carries out most research activities and is internally organized in research programme and project teams that often involve also researchers and scholars from other institutions;\r\n- International Center for Interethnic Relations and Minorities in South Eastern Europe that includes individuals from other units and collaborators from diverse institutions (mostly from Europe);\r\n- Branch office Lendava – Lendvai Kutatócsoport;\r\n- Branch office Reka;\r\n- Specialized Information and Documentation (INDOC) Center with a rich specialized library and archives;\r\n- Administrative unit/service.\r\n\r\nThe IES, its International Center, INDOC and its researchers have developed extensive and intensive international cooperation. The Institute has established an extensive international network of partner institutions, mostly research and higher education institutions, and scholars in the field of minority and ethnic studies throughout Europe and worldwide. \r\n\r\nAn important part of the international cooperation of the IES is the participation of the Institute and its researchers in various foreign, international and European projects.\r\n\r\nResearchers dealing with the Holocaust will find the research material and the results of the project “Jews and antisemitism in Slovenia: Holocaust and eradicated memory” project conducted at the Institute for Ethnic Studies (http://www.inv.si/Dokumenti/dokumenti.aspx?iddoc=284&idmenu1=114&lang=slo), particularly useful. The collection of interviews was conducted between 2004–2007 and the recordings of the interviews (with Yoel Shachar: From tha camp, part 1 and part 2; Alex Ripp: After the war; Greta Gutman: Journey to Auschwitz; and Alice Gruenwald: Hope) and other multimedia content are available via http://www.inv.si/psja/spomin/ljudje.htm.\r\n\r\nINDOC Center:\r\nThe specialized INDOC Center with library is part of the Institute. It is the central facility for the collection of materials on ethnic studies in Slovenia. The library is one of the best equipped libraries in its field. The advantage of the center is that it offers its users materials from the field of ethnic issues in the form of newspaper clippings, journals, monographs, research results and historical archives in one place. The library contains over 38,000 monographs and periodicals.\r\n\r\nLibrary:\r\nThe collection of books and archives began even before the Minority Institute was founded in 1925; later, the book collections of the Department for Border Issues of the Scientific Institute were added, which were collected during and immediately after the Second World War. After 1948, the Institute acquired not only current materials, but also some other older archive holdings from the interwar period.\r\n\r\nToday, the rich and nationally significant funds (500 files) includes, among other things Archives of the Office for the Occupied Territory (1918-1921), Archives of the Interallied Plebiscite Commission, the SHS (State of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes) in Ljubljana (1918-1920), Archives of the Commission for the Peace Conference with the National Government of the SHS in Ljubljana (1918-20), Archives of the National Council for Carinthia in Volkermarkt/Velikovec (1919-1920), the Carinthian Plebiscite (1920), the Paris Peace Treaty (1947) as well as personal archives of important cultural and political representatives of the Slovenes in the neighboring countries. Particularly noteworthy is the archive of Dr. Josip Vilfan (over 40 files), which was previously kept in the Ljubljana Historical Archives and is now available again at the IES. Recently, the library was expanded by a donation of books on the crisis in former Yugoslavia."@en . .
