The Baraga Collection is dedicated to bishop, missionary, and linguist Friderik Irenej Baraga (1797–1868), and is arranged in two rooms of his birthplace, a manor in Mala vas. The collection consists of the Baraga memorial room, which exhibits personal belongings, and a room presenting his missionary activities among the native peoples of North America. The collection is managed by the Archbishop's Ordinariate in Ljubljana.
Baraga worked among the fur-traders and the Ottawa and, later, Ojibwe Indians from 1831 till his death and wrote a catechism in Ojibwe language as well as its grammar and dictionary (still in use today). A county and a town in Michigan (USA) have been named after the bishop.
