Historical Society of Celje
Mission
The Society encourages collaboration between historians and others interested in history. In order to popularise historical investigations and findings, it organises conferences and public lectures. As a regional organisation, it provides educational activities and assistance with research projects to its members and promotes research in Slovene history, particularly the history of Celje and its surroundings. The Society publishes exciting biannual historical journal Zgodovina za vse (History for Everyone), specialised in the history of everyday life and aimed for wider public appeal.
Cooperation
The Society promotes new scholarships in the theory of history and sociology and collaborates with teachers of history and offers assistance in teaching history and other related subjects. It is involved in active support for collecting, preserving and promoting cultural heritage by publishing materials about the protection of cultural heritage.
The Society cooperates with the Historical Association of Slovenia and other affiliated associations in Slovenia and the region: the Faculty of Arts at the University of Ljubljana, the Historical Archives Celje, the Celje Museum of Recent History, and the Celje Regional Museum.
The organisation supports book series, in which historians from the younger generation can publish works that either deal with the history of Celje or conceptually follow recent trends in the Slovene social sciences. In this respect, it organises several book and journal presentations.
