History in brief
The vibrant history of Slovene and Slavic cultural activity in Trieste dates back to the pre-war period of the 19th Century. The first Slavic National Reading Room in Trieste was established in 1861, other cultural institutions and societies in the city and it's rural region followed soon after: Slovene Permanent Theatre in Trieste was established in 1902. The development of libraries and worker's organisations was interrupted by the First World War and later the sociocultural life in Trieste was demolished in the year 1920 by Fascist commandos when they burnt the Slav National House to ashes.
In 1973, the Socialist Republic of Slovenia conferred the Library the right to receive a deposit copy of every publication printed in Slovenia. Between 1991-2000, the Library was funded by the Italian State subsidies, from 2001 it is funded by the Slovene community in Italy.
