Joseph Francis Buh, who with reports on his missionary activities contributed to the knowledge of the Slovenes in the homelandonAmerica and its native peoples. He is well known for his efforts among the Slovene immigrants in the US to maintain loyalty to the "Slovenehood". Nevertheless, his work especially among Slovene readers is less known. On the basis of the available archival sources and other available material, it is evident that Buh representeda link between the missionary activitiesof Slovene priests in the US and those priests who came to the US with a mission "to serve" Slovene and other European immigrants. Buh was also one of the first Slovene priests in the US, who dedicated his activities to the building of the organized framework of ethnic organizations among the Slovene immigrants and to advocate the preservation of their "Slovenehood"V prispevku sta predstavljena vloga in pomen duhovnika Jožefa Frančiška Buha, enega tistih Slovencev, ki so s svojim misijonarskim delom v tujini prispevali k (s)poznavanju Slovencev z neevropskimi deželami in kulturami, hkrati pa so si prizadevali med slovenskimi priseljenci v ZDA ohranjati pripadnost slovenstvu. Kljub temu je njegovo delo širši slovenski javnosti manj znano. Iz razpoložljivih arhivskih virov in drugega dostopnega gradiva je razvidno, da je Buh predstavljal vez med misijonarskim obdobjem delovanja slovenskih izseljenskih duhovnikov v ZDA in tistimi duhovniki, ki so prišli v ZDA z nalogo "služiti" slovenskim izseljencem. Buh je bil eden prvih slovenskih duhovnikov v ZDA, ki se je posvetil tudi organiziranemu delu med slovenskimi priseljenci in se zavzemal za ohranjanje slovenstva med njimiTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaUniverza v Ljubljani, Teološka fakulteta
