Our ethnologic studies of Slovene immigrants in Australia date back to a good ten years ago. Given that the volume of scientifically elaborated material on the subject is still modest, the article offers a condensed review of the findings to date by the related disciplines which deal with the problem of emigration from Slovenia and former Yugoslavia and which contain data on the Slovenes in Australia. The article also presents some of the most important migration studies published in post-war Australia. As for the methodological aspect, the author presents the autobiographic method of research into immigrant's daily life.

The paper deals with the scope and role of the Slovene immigrant, pro-Yugoslav and communist newspapers and periodicals in Western Europe until the outbreak of World War 11. The latter two groups of publications are dealt with as far as they included contributions by Slovene economic and political em igrants or met w ith response in emigration milieus. The author's findfings are based on the study of the newspapers and periodicals available in Ljubljana (Slovenia) and the periodicals department of the National Library in Paris. The fact that the nespapers and periodicals have not been preserved in complete files renders analytical study more difficult. The most incomplete are the communist publications which were issued in underground or sem i-underground conditions, some of them having no more than one issue. Still more scarce are data abouth the plans on the launching of newspapers and periodicals by emigrants themselves. The paper represents a basis for further research into the role and im portance of Slovene-language publications in the Slovene immigrant circles in Germany, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Austria, the Soviet Union and other European states until the year 1940.
