Visit Cleveland!The Slovak Institute in North America has always made its home in Cleveland, Ohio. First dedicated in 1952 to be a source for knowledge about Slovakia with material in the Slovak language. Over the years it has also published books in Slovak that now can again be offerd for sale. Currently books in other major languages are found on the shelves of the Slovak Institute, written to explore the growth of the Slovak people both in Slovakia and around the world. In recent years, the research of surnames for Slovak immigrants coming to America has created a need for a new service by the Slovak Institute. Working with spellings of surnames and maps to identify old towns going back to that period of the Dual Monarchy (1867 to 1918) is made easy. More information about St. Andrew Svorad Abbey of the Slovak Benedictine monks. Business hours for public: The Slovak Institute is staffed and open to the public 5 days a week, Monday through Friday 10am to 3pm. Advanced notice of your visit and the nature of your research would be appreciated. |

Work In Progress |

It was necessary to upgrade the library to fit the needs of the expected visitors coming to the Slovak Institute. Earlier books held by the Institute were cataloged but many recent books have to be identified in a card file; this is currently an ongoing project. Permanent displays of Slovak personalities and folklore items are being added to the Institute. The Institute operates independently as a non-profit organization under 501-c.3 status. Your financial support for the upgrading of the Institute would be gratefully appreciated. Make contributions payable to the Slovak Institute of St. Andrew Abbey.
