Research
In 2005, the president of the Institute of Slovenian Studies of Victoria, Aleksandra Čeferin, sent a formal letter of invitation to Daša Koprivec, senior consultant for Slovenian emigrant section at Slovene Ethnographic Museum, to visit Victoria in order to undertake the research of handicrafts subculture of Slovenian settlers in Australia.
The exhibition of Slovenian emigrant handicrafts emerged as a possible subject of mutual interest both to SEM and ISSV, as well as personal interests of Daša Koprivec and Aleksandra Čeferin.
The museum’s application to the Office for Slovenes Abroad for funding was subsequently ap-proved, and the visit was planned for May 2006.
The first meeting with handicrafts practitioners was organized by the Institute for Slovenian Studies of Victoria with the assistance of other Slovenian migrant organizations. The initiative presented at Baraga House in Melbourne at the beginning of May 2006 was received with enthusiasm and sup-port. During the next few weeks Daša Koprivec and Aleksandra Čeferin would visit homes in Mel-bourne and Geelong areas, where samples of work would be viewed and photographed.
In the next three weeks the research field trips covered distances of over 1000 km in Melbourne and Geelong, resulting in documentation of over 400 photos. Aleksandra Čeferin subsequently collected sample exhibits for the planned physical exhibition at Slovenian Ethnographic Museum in Ljubljana.
At the same time the idea of the internet exhibition emerged in discussions between ISSV and SEM. The issue was an exhibition that could transcend the local nature of the physical exhibition and carry it to Slovenes worldwide.
These discussions were followed subsequently by meetings between SEM and ISSV in Ljubljana, and the concept began to take shape as a collaboration between SEM and ISSV. It was also envis-aged that it might be expanded as an ongoing archive of Slovene Migrant Handcrafts in order to fulfill the mission of SEM as a collective memory of Slovene heritage to Slovenian migrant communities worldwide.
Raziskava
2005 je Aleksandra Čeferin, predsednica Viktorijskega inštituta za slovenistiko (ISSV), Daši Kop-rivcu, muzejski svetovalki v kustodiatu za zamejce, izseljence in druge etnije v Sloveniji v Sloven-skem etnografskem muzeju, poslala uradno pisno vabilo, da obišče Viktorijo za izvedbo raziskave kulture ročnih del med slovenskimi priseljenci v Avstraliji.
Razstava ročnih del slovenskih izseljencev se je pojavila kot možna tema skupnega interesa SEMa in ISSVa in tudi osebnega interesa Daše Koprivca in Aleksandre Čeferina.
Urad za Slovence v zamejstvu in po svetu je ugodil SEMovi prošnji za financiranje obiska in obisk je bil načrtovan za maj 2006.
V sodelovanju z drugimi slovenskimi izseljenskimi organizacijami je Viktorijski inštitut za sloveni-stiko organiziral prvo srečanje z izdelovalci ročnih del. Pobuda je bila predstavljena v Baragovi hiši v Melbournu na začetku maja 2006 in je bila sprejeta z navdušenjem in podporo. V naslednjih tednih sta Daša Koprivec in Aleksandra Čeferin obiskali domove Slovencev na območju Melbourna in Geelonga, kjer sta si ogledali primerke ročnih del in jih fotografirali.
V naslednjih treh tednih sta opravili več tisoč kilometrov terenskih raziskovalnih potovanj v Mel-bournu in Geelongu, na katerih je nastala dokumentacija z več kot 400 fotografij. Aleksandra Čefe-rin je pozneje zbirala vzorčne primerke za načrtovano fizično razstavo v Slovenskem etnografskem muzeju v Ljubljani.
Hkrati se je v razgovorih med ISSV in SEM rodila zamisel o spletni razstavi. Šlo je razstavo, ki bi presegala lokalno naravo fizične razstave in jo ponesla med Slovence po svetu.
Razgovori so se nadaljevali na sestankih SEMa in ISSVa v Ljubljani in iz njih se je izoblikovalo sodelovanje med ustanovama. Predvidevalo se je, da bi zamisel o razstavi razširili v stalni arhiv ročnih del slovenskih izseljencev, ker bi SEM tako uresničeval del svojega poslanstva v smislu kolektivnega spomina slovenske dediščine za slovenske izseljenske skupnosti po svetu.
