Korošci

The interconnected ONLINE Biographical Lexicon of Famous and Notable People from Carinthia (Koroška) includes data on personalities who were born in this region, living and/or studying here, and whose work above all impacted the region’s development in history as well as in the present. Regardless of the historical borders of Carinthia, the lexicon includes personalities from a wider territory of the region and abroad.

The website is run by the Dr. Franc Sušnik Central Carinthian Library. We gladly accept proposals for adding new personalities to the lexicon. Send them to korosci@knjiznica-ravne.si or via the online form.
