#22: Preserving the Visual Heritage of Historical Gottschee

The IKGS photo archives contains several hundred historical photographs and negatives from the Gottschee/Kočevsko region in the Republic of Slovenia, where a numerically significant German population had lived until 1941. Between September and December 2023, this collection was evaluated and prepared for digitization as part of a project funded by the Bavarian State Ministry for Family, Labor and Social Affairs. Angela Ilić talks to Dr. Anja Moric (Ljubljana), associated scholar of the IKGS in 2024, who worked on the project and who has been conducting research on Gottschee for twenty years.
