Hermagoras Society
The Hermagoras Society ((スロベニア語:Družba sv. Mohorja) or ) is Slovenia's oldest publishing house and has branches in Klagenfurt (Austria), Celje (Slovenia), and Gorizia (Italy). Named after Catholic Saint Hermagoras of Aquileia it originated on July 27, 1851 at the behest of Bishop Anton Martin Slomšek for the purpose of instructing Slovenes in reading and writing. By 1918 the Society had over 90,000 members and had published more than 16.3 million books. In 1940 during World War II both the Klagenfurt and Celje locations were closed down by the Nazis, who confiscated the printing presses and destroyed books.
After World War II ended, the printing presses were returned, and the Hermagoras Society resumed operation. Since then the Gorizia branch of the Hermagoras Society has published a monthly magazine, ''Družina in Dom'' (Engl. ''Family and Home'') and a lexicon titled ''Primorski Biografski Leksikonyearly'' (Engl. The Primorska Biographical Lexicon). The branch cooperates with the Klagenfurt location in publishing an annual almanac (Slov. ''Koledar''). The Celje location, meanwhile, was nationalized after World War II and forced to publish exclusively socialist materials until 1970 when it was reorganized. While its membership has fluctuated from 60,000 members in 1970 to 25,000 in 1990, as of 1991 it remained one of the three largest publishers in Slovenia.〔
In 2001 the Hermagoras Society celebrated its 150th anniversary, and the first President of Slovenia Milan Kučan gave a speech commemorating the Society's publication of 40 million books in the Slovene language since its founding.
