This file is made up of ten documents almost entirely on Serbs in the United States and dealing with a wide range of ethnographic topics. Cultural assimilation and adaptation to American society, as well as the maintenance of Serbian ethnic identity are discussed to some extent in nearly all the works but are given special attention by Padgett, Simić, and Matejec. A study of the Serbian American community in the San Francisco Bay Area for the period of 1918-1980s, is found in Vucinich. This document discusses Serbian immigration to the area, the culture history of the region, socio-political organization, literary activities, and the effects of the European "wars of liberation" on the Serbian American population. Brkich's work describes the origin, development, activities, and significance of various Serbian organizations in the United States, with particular emphasis on the Serbian Mutual Aid Societies. The three publications in this file by Simić deal with the concept of aging in Serbian American society, the institution of slava or "baptismal glorification", and the Serbian family. The study by Vrga presents an analysis of the various factors promoting ethno-religious factionalism in the Serbian Orthodox Church in America in the early 1960s. Gakovich presents a bibliography of documents on Serbian life in the United States and Canada up to 1990. His work also contains a list of Serbian newspapers and periodicals which are active or no longer active in the field of publication for the period of 1869-1990. This document also contains a directory of Serbian churches and monasteries in the United States and Canada
