The results of the research are of basic importance for the knowledge of the Slovene cultural identity. Valuable material from the field is kept at our central document collection, our library contains basic Slovene ethnological literature; both are widely opened for visitors, researchers, students and all who are interested in Slovene ethnologcal heritage and the work of our ethnologists. The young research fellows, who participated in our program, prepared their M.A. and Ph.D. theses, that is how the continuity of the research is guaranteed. The Slovene Ethnological Lexicon, in the realisation of which much of the work was dedicated, is the first lexicographic overview of the everyday culture and the way of life of the Slovenes. It will present a basical manual not only for researchers, university teachers and students, but also for those who promote the Slovene cultural heritage in media and tourism, and for wider public interested in traditional culture and its contemporary innovations.
