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.

He worked among the fur-traders and Indians from 1831 till his death and wrote a cathecism in Ojibwe language as well as its grammar and dictionary (still in use today). A county and a village in Michigan (U.S.A.) have been named after the bishop.
