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.
