Diplomsko delo z naslovom Slovenski priseljenci v Elyju, Minnesota na podlagi slovenskega ameriškega časopisja med letoma 1939 in 1959 je prikaz življenja predvsem druge generacije slovenskih izseljencev v Elyju, Minnesota. Osnovna metodologija pri izdelavi diplomskega dela je bilo proučevanje slovenskega izseljenskega časopisa v ZDA (Nova doba, Prosveta in Amerikanski Slovenec), literature, internetnih člankov in arhivskega gradiva. Namen diplomske naloge je predstaviti življenje slovenskih priseljencev v majhnem mestu na severozahodnem delu Minnesote, ki ga je zaznamovalo rudarstvo. V nalogo je zaradi širše slike okolja, kjer še danes živijo slovenski priseljenci, vključen kratek povzetek slovenskega izseljevanja v Združene države Amerike, kratka zgodovina zvezne države Minnesota in železnega okrožja. V nadaljevanju naloga predstavlja opis slovenske skupnosti v Elyju, ki je za razliko od drugih slovenskih skupnosti po Združenih državah predstavljala večinsko prebivalstvo mesta. Poudarjeni so njihovo društveno in družabno življenje, delavske razmere in njihov odnos do domovine ter pomoč pri njeni povojni obnovi.
