The Croatian Heritage Foundation’s mission is to preserve national and cultural identity, the mother tongue and the customs of Croatians living abroad.
The Croatian Emigrant Almanac
The Croatian Emigrant Almanac journal publishes scholarly articles on Croatian migration, topics related to demographic change, and articles on various aspects of Croatian identity in an international context. The articles bring together the achievements of people of Croatian origin and empirical analyses and studies from a wide range of disciplinary approaches. This serial publication covers the whole world each year with its interest; the works are published in Croatian, but also in other languages by special decision of the editorial board, in addition to abstracts in English and Spanish. The international character of the journal is defined both by the topics of the various contributions and by the response of the authors, the editorial board and the CHF Publishing Council.

Croatian Emigrant Almanac 2025
The 70th CEA volume focuses on the most dynamic Croatian migrant community in the EU—the one that lives all over Germany. Croats in Germany undoubtedly represent an enormous human capital for the Republic of Croatia, which is developing an increasingly attractive immigration policy. The successful integration of returnees from different continents, educated in the multicultural environments of their homeland, into modern Croatian society is largely due to their good knowledge of the Croatian language and culture. Following this fact, the CHF Yearbook brings news about Croaticum's manuals for faster language learning. Optimism is encouraged by the encouraging introductory essay by our MEP Davor Ivo Stier, which demonstrates how important it is for the Republic of Croatia that the EU continues with a cohesion policy that will enable it to develop faster. In summary, the seven thematic strands—Signs of the Times, Croatian Horizons, Bridges, History, Heritage, Science and New Books—bring together a diverse range of studies with 25 articles by authors questioning the postmodern creativity of the Croatian diaspora.
