This article describes the history of the journal Slovene Studies and presents ideas for its future. The journal is a scholarly publication of the Society for Slovene Studies, which was founded by a group of scholars in New York in 1973. The journal began to appear in 1975 as Papers in Slovene Studies and was renamed Slovene Studies in 1978. It is thus approaching its fortieth year of publication. The SSLLC played an indirect but key role in the journal's development. Colleagues at the Faculty of Arts and seminar organisers have been authors of articles in the journal, as have scholars from other parts of the University of Ljubljana, the University of Maribor, the Slovene Academy of Sciences and Arts, the Institute of Contemporary History, and other European and North American academic institutions. Likewise, SSS members, including the journal%s editors, have been attending the SSLLC for decades. The latter can attest that participation in the SSLLC has influenced their work as editors.
