The Slovenia Partisan Printing Shop collection presents authentic printing and other items installed and used by the printing staff there in Vojsko. The printing shop has been managed by the Idrija Municipal Museum since 1957. The staff left the printing shop at the end of April 1945, and the Partisan Journal continued to be printed from 1 May in the free territory of Trieste. The Slovenia Partisan Printing Shop has remained unchanged with all the equipment until today. The collection includes 625 inventory items and 255,000 units of lettering and blind blocking printing material.
The high-speed printing machine, Societa Nebiolo, Torino, smuggled out of Milan to Vojsko in 1944 by partisans.
The first was a 248th issue of the Partisan Journal was in this printing shop on 18 September 1944, published on four pages. The Primorska Journal, the successor of the Partisan Journal is published today in Trieste, continuing the tradition of the Partisan Journal.
There is a total of 255,000 units of printing letters and blind blocking printing materials of various typography and dimensions.
The clichés and linocuts made at the printing house replaced the photos, being a great moral support for the soldiers and civilian population. They were published in all printed materials, representing the heroism and intransigence of partisan and allied troops (a cliché example: The final attack to the final victory).
