Slovenian Music Collection at Golda Meir Library

In the early 1980s, Frank and Mary Ermenč made a donation the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Library to purchase Slovenian music. The idea was to build a collection to facilitate the study and performance of the music of Slovenia – printed scores, sound recordings, and books about Slovene music and composers – that would be accessible to musicians and scholars. Over the years the collection, which consists of mostly newly published and commissioned works, has served as inspiration for poster sessions at professional meetings, international visits by music librarians, and material exchange agreements for journals.
