The author outlines his thoughts on the plans and results of research on the emigration of Slovenes to America up until the First World War. He presents an overview of contemporary published are rare professional analyses on emigration until 1914, and includes journalistic an increasingly scientific analyses from the period 1919 to 1941, referring to the mass emigration of Slovenes. The author establishes the diversity and share number of such publications and invites for the collection of historical material (archival, newspaper, statistical and other). At the same time, he arrives at the conclusion that although the plans were great (for example the founding of emigration archives in Ljubljana, the publication of a scientific monograph on American Slovenes etc.), only a few were realised.

This is the fourth issue of the publication Dve domovini / Two Homelands (the first was published in 1990, the second, a double issue, in 1992), which is still not a journal in the true sense of the word as - despite having legally settled status (1992) - the financer still refuses to recognize the publication’s nature as that of a periodical, scientific journal. This is also the cause for the late publication of the 1993 issue. Despite the initial difficulties, we still have not lost hope of stabilizing the financing and, thus, of regular publication of the sole Slovene scientific journal on the issues of Slovene emigration and emigration in general, a periodical uniting writers from various scientific disciplines, both from home as well as abroad. This publication places emphasis on contributions from a scientific conference on the theme of »Achievements and Plans in the Research of Slovene Emigration in Scientific Disciplines« held on May 26, 1992, at the Institute for Slovene Emigration Studies of the Center for Scientific Research of the Slovene Academy of Sciences and Arts in Ljubljana. Participants included experts from Croatia and Italy, and at the meeting an assessment of work carried out to date was made and ideas on future work sketched out. The conferences were conceived as annual working meetings having increasingly narrow topics and an ever wider circle of participants (including colleagues from abroad).
