Visit Cleveland!The Slovak Institute in North America has always made its home in Cleveland, Ohio. First dedicated in 1952 to be a source for knowledge about Slovakia with material in the Slovak language. Over the years it has also published books in Slovak that now can again be offerd for sale. Currently books in other major languages are found on the shelves of the Slovak Institute, written to explore the growth of the Slovak people both in Slovakia and around the world. In recent years, the research of surnames for Slovak immigrants coming to America has created a need for a new service by the Slovak Institute. Working with spellings of surnames and maps to identify old towns going back to that period of the Dual Monarchy (1867 to 1918) is made easy. More information about St. Andrew Svorad Abbey and Abbey in Sampor (Slovakia) of the Slovak Benedictine monks. The digitalizing of a major cross section of SIL books has now been completed, enough that a CD can be offered to libraries or universities. The three categories on the CD are: 1) Dewey Decimaled Books, 2) Large Picture Books, 3) Books by Authors, all of these of interest to Slovaks. Business hours for public: The Slovak Institute is staffed and open to the public 3 days a week, Tuesday through Thursday 10am to 3pm. Advanced notice of your visit and the nature of your research would be appreciated. |
