Drawing from his research experience as well as from the research experience of the other researchers the author of this essay presented a paper about research on the Slovene immigration in the United States at the New Orleans meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Slavic Studies in 1985, which was later published in Slovene Studies. There he made some recommendations. In this article author surveys how much of this program was fulfilled by him and other researchers. The areas of research were Slovene fraternal benefit societies, cultural activities, workersć movement, Slovene ethnic Press, Slovene ethnic parishes, Slovene national homes, entrepreneurship, successful individuals, and community studies. Other colleagues developed other topics like the reasons for emigration, the means of transportation, and Images of America among the potential migrants which the author of this essay did not mention in the program. In the last twenty years many books and scholarly articles were written on the topics of Slovenes in the U.S.A. The author also emphasizes the fact that there were many scholarly articles and entries in encyclopedias published by Slovene authors not only in Slovenia but also in the U.S.APREGLED RAZISKOVANJA SLOVENSKEGA IZSELJENSTVA V ZDA Resnejše raziskovanje o slovenskem izseljenstvu v ZDA se je v Sloveniji pričelo v začetku 70. let 20. st., ko je skupina starejših in mladih raziskovalcev začela izvajati program o slovenskem izseljenstvu na Univerzi v Ljubljani. Na podlagi lastnih raziskav in raziskav drugih je avtor prispevka leta 1985 na letnem sestanku Ameriškega združenja za napredek slovanskih študij (American Association for the Advancement of Slavic Studies) predlagal smernice za nadaljnje raziskovanje slovenskega izseljenstva. V prispevku avtor ugotavlja, koliko od tega programaje bilo izpolnjenega z njegove strani pa tudi s strani drugih raziskovalcev. Polja raziskovanja, ki jih je avtor predlagal, so bila: slovenske bratske podporne organizacije, kulturne aktivnosti, delavsko gibanje, slovensko etnično časopisje, slovenske etnične župnije, slovenski narodni domovi, podjetništvo, uspešni posamezniki in pregled zgodovine posameznih slovenskih naselbin v ZDA. Drugi kolegi so poleg tega razvili še druga polja raziskav, kot na primer razlogi za izseljevanje, načini potovanj izseljencev in podobe Amerike v očeh potencialnih izseljencev. Rezultat raziskovanj so mnoge knjige in znanstveni prispevki o slovenskih izseljencih v ZDA. Avtor tudi poudarja, da so bili mnogi znanstveni prispevki o Slovencih v ZDA slovenskih avtorjev iz Slovenije objavljeni v znanstvenih časopisih in enciklopedijah, in to ne le v Sloveniji, temveč tudi v ZDATEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaInštitut za narodnostna vprašanja
