Mohorjeva družba (Mohor's Society) is the oldest publishing house in Slovenia, and as late as 1864 it remained the only Slovene publishing house.
+
Founded in [[established::1851]], Mohorjeva družba (St. [[Mohor's Society]]) is the oldest Slovene publishing house. It was established in Klagenfurt (present-day Austria) on the initiative of Bishop [[Anton Martin Slomšek]] (1800–1862) with the aim of fostering the Slovenian language. The publications of Mohorjeva družba played a decisive role in the history of reading and literacy among the Slovene people. As a result of historical and political shifts, Mohorjeva družba relocated to Celje, while two additional branches were established in Gorizia, Italy, and Klagenfurt, Austria. Today, all three branches remain active and collaborate on meetings, book presentations and other related events.

==History==
 +
Mohorjeva družba was founded by Andrej Einspieler and Anton Janežič as a publisher of Slovenian books. The publishing house is known for its annual collection, still published today, which includes a selection of books and a calendar with articles, tales, practical advice, etc. Mohorjeva družba was renowned across Europe and drew more subscribers every year.
 +
 +
The collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire ushered in a difficult period, forcing the publishing house to relocate first to Prevalje and finally to Celje. When Mohorjeva družba was headquartered in Prevalje, Slovenes in the Goriška region were forced to establish their own Mohorjeva družba (1923), because the fascist regime banned the importation of Slovenian books. During World War II publishing took place in Ljubljana, while the publishing house only barely avoided being shut down after returning to Celje. After World War II, Mohorjeva družba was re-established in Klagenfurt as a separate publisher.
 +
 +
Reinvigorated, Celovška Mohorjeva družba (Hermagoras Verein) diversified its publishing portfolio in the following years, adding new titles and areas of expertise to its catalogue, thus becoming the most important organisation of Carinthian Slovenes. In 2001, when the Slovene Mohorjeva družba celebrated the 150th anniversary of its founding, it was awarded the Golden Order of Freedom of the Republic of Slovenia for its services in stimulating Slovenian literature and national consciousness.
 +
 +
==Celjska Mohorjeva družba==
 +
The publishing catalogue of Celjska Mohorjeva družba includes fiction for children and adults, fiction in translation, textbooks, scholarly literature and handbooks covering a wide array of areas.  Its publications have received a variety of awards. The books can be purchased online at its website or in [[Mohorjeva Bookshops|Mohorjeva bookstores]] in Celje and Ljubljana.
 +
 +
Its annual collection is uniquely important as it helped stimulate Slovene cultural awareness in the past, at home and with emigrants abroad. The collection comprises a selection of books for all ages and tastes and the traditional calendar, which chronicles all of the previous year's significant events, domestic and foreign, in addition to containing articles, discussions, poetry, and short fiction.
 +
 +
''Zvon'' ("Bell") is a bimonthly magazine, whose origins go back to 1870, making it the oldest cultural publication in Slovenia. It has been published by Celjska Mohorjeva družba since 2006. The magazine affords readers a variety of artistic and scholarly contributions, interviews, discussions, and reviews.
 +
 +
Launches of new titles are often accompanied by author presentations. Workshops, round tables, cultural and educational events, and expert meetings are likewise organised by the publishing house. The Slomšek Reading Award (Slomškovo bralno priznanje) was established to stimulate interest in reading among primary school pupils. The project concludes with a gathering in Ponikva, the birthplace of Anton Martin Slomšek.

== Celovška Mohorjeva družba (Hermagoras Verein in Klagenfurt)==
 +

The publishing catalogue of Celovška Mohorjeva družba covers a variety of genres, such as children and young-adult literature and scholarly literature in Slovenian and German.

School textbooks published by Celovška Mohorjeva družba play a very important role in the development of Slovenian bilingual education in Carinthia.
 +

The publishing catalogue is available in their bilingual bookstore in the centre of Klagenfurt or at their website.

== Goriška Mohorjeva družba==

Mohorjeva družba originated in 1851 as the Society for Publishing of Good Slovene Books, which was established in Celovec-Klagenfurt (nowadays in Austria) through an initiative of Bishop Anton Martin Slomšek and confirmed by Austrians in 1953. As early as 1852 the first two books were sent to 785 members of the Society, and in 1862 Mohorjeva družba organised a competition for new short stories and texts in the historical or natural sciences. After the First World War, Mohorjeva družba moved firstly to Prevalje (Slovene Carinthia) and then to Celje; editorial control was moved to Ljubljana in 1922. Thereafter Slovene books were sent to Slovene immigrants all around the world. In 1926 a branch of Mohorjeva družba was established in Italian Gorizia for Slovenes living in Italy, and in 1946 the original Celovec-Klagenfurt branch was re-established in order to publish books for Slovenes in Austria. Today all three branches - Celje, Gorizia and Celovec-Klagenfurt - remain active.
