Background
Its beginnings date back to 1839 when the Society of Kranj Provincial Museum was founded, which was in 1865 renamed to the Museum Society of Carniola, and in 1919 to Museum Society of Slovenia. Its operation was then extended to all Slovenian territory under the newly formed Yugoslav state. By 1943 it had a history and natural history section. Since 1943, when it formed an independent Natural History Society, the Museum Society focused exclusively in the historical issues. In 1952 the Society, as a professional association of museum workers, was renamed to Society of Museologists of Slovenia, and made a decisive contribution to the development of Slovenian Museum network until the establishment of Association of Slovene Museums in 1970.
Programme / Mission
The Society has contributed significantly to the development of Slovenian Museum activities and the creation of many museums and galleries. Today it has over 600 regular and honorary members and fans of the museum. Regular members are professional museum workers, employed in the Slovenian museums and galleries, and retired professional museum workers. Museum fans support the activities and goals of the Society.
By pursuing its mission, the Society contributes to the development of Slovenian museum profession, promotes preservation, study, conservation, presentation and popularization of mobile enforcement of natural and cultural heritage in the Slovenian and the international arena.
Slovene Museum Society cooperates regularly with Slovene Art History Society, Slovene Ethnological Society, Archaeological Society of Slovenia, Association of Slovene Restorers, and other organisations.
Publications
The Society publishes the twice-yearly Argo Journal and since 1998 it has conferred the Valvasor Award, the highest award in Slovene museology.
It also organises the Muzeoforum, an annual convention where distinguished museums experts from Slovenia and abroad convene to present their views and experiences. The Muzeoforum comprises two or three lectures each year, covering all types of museum activity, eg the Role of Museology and Its Correlations to Science (1991), Between Modernity and Postmodernity, Museum Pedagogics in Search of a Paradigm (1991), Museums and Exhibitions (1993), Museums at the End of the Second Millennium - A Janus-Faced View (May 2000), Lifelong Learning and Museums (September 2000), Oral Sources - A Constituent Part of the Collecting Policy of Museums (November 2000), Documentation in Museums (November 2002), Theoretical Reflections on Museums and Museology (March 2008), Digitisation of European and Slovenian museums - state and perspectives (January 2009).
