Summary/Abstract: This article aims to show the Slovak League in America as an example of the process of institutionalizing the life of Slovak expatriates in the United States. I ask to what extent the Slovak League in America can be considered a leading institution among the Slovak diaspora, as well as what activities undertaken by the League testify to this dominant position. I trace the most important events in which the Slovak League in America participated in the period from its inception in 1907 to 1918, revealing the involvement of League members as well as the problems faced by representatives of the organization.
