White Carniola is not completely unknown to historiography. The province between the Gorjanci Hills and the Kolpa river was already subject to many researches in the past that shed light on its rich and often tumultuous history. Even in the recent years several interesting monographs have been brought to light revealing the fragments of White Carniolan past - from the monograph of Marjetka Balkovec Debevec, V Črnomlju od nekdaj bili so veseli, and Črnomaljski zbornik edited by Janez Weiss, to the monograph on the history of the wind bands of Metlika, Črnomelj and Semič by Jože Dular, and monographs on the White Carniolan railway of Karel Rustja, just to mention a few of the latest works.
