Biographical/historical note:

Ivan Molek was an author and translator and a writer on socialism. He was the editor of Prosveta, 1916-1944, the newspaper of the Slovene National Benefit Society (Slovenska Narodna Podporna Jednota; SNPJ) based in Chicago. He sometimes used the name, "John Molek." His wife Mary had several occupations over the years and assisted in Molek's work. She was born in 1909 to Slovenian immigrant parents, whose surname was Anglicize from Yug to Jugg. She married Molek in 1934; earned an M.A. from the University of Chicago in 1941; compiled and translated works by and about her husband, and died in 1982.

Detailed description of archival series in the collection:

Series 1. "Molek correspondence filed alphabetically by author/recipient, ca. 1901-1961" contains items written by or to the person named as the title of each folder. The count stated in parenthesis pertains to the number of letters or other items in the folder as of 1975. Materials received by the Chicago Historical Society later have been interfiled by name in some cases thus changing the actual number of items in the folder.

 

Some fragile originals have been replaced with photocopies in these files. The originals are preserved in boxes 16-18.

 

Correspondence folders to which Mary Molek restricted access when she donated the collection to Chicago Historical Society in 1975 are no longer restricted, and they have been interfiled alphabetically with the other correspondents. These restricted folders used to be in box 9:

Bajič (Bayitch), Stojan (Stoyan) and Mileva, 1946-1968 (75);

Drnovsek. Dr. Bogdan, 1948 (2);

Jelenc, Celestin, 1945-1953 (10);

Kobal, Andrew, 1928-1959 (80);

Molek, Bertha, 1930s;

Molek, John, 1930s onward.

 

Series 2. "Topical files" originally were organized by Mary Molek.

 

Series 3. "Writings and translations by Ivan Molek" contains writings in typescript unless otherwise noted. This series contains articles written and/or translated by Molek. At the beginning, there is an alphabetical index to the "Writings" prepared by Mary Molek.

 

In the folder list below, English translations of titles often follow Slovenian titles, separated by " = ". If the translations aren't the originals, they probably were supplied by Mary Molek when she organized the collection. The "SEE ALSO" cross-references also were supplied by Mary Molek.

 

Series 4. Books and periodicals relating to Slovenes

Most of this series was in the accession received by Chicago Historical Society after Mary Molek's death.

 

Series 5. Fragile original materials that require special permission for researchers to use
