Abstract

Albanological researches unlike many other countries have started relatively late, especially in institutional form. All the efforts
of the Albanian intellectual elite to establish an Albanian Studies Society, finally were finalized with the establishment of the Institute of
Albanian Studies on April 8, 1940, and certainly, the support of the Italian government at the fondation of this institute is considerable.
This institute aimed to develop the national Albanian language , to gather the best issue of Albanian folklore, to collect data and
documents on the history etc.. This study will consider the issues relating to the establishment of this institute, the organization, status,
and integral structures and the program of the institute. The institute did a significant work in scientific activities in the field of linguistics,
literature, history, archeology, science and art by providing an exceptional contribution to Albanological Researches. This study applies
even to evaluate the work of intellectuals in raising the value of the Albanian nation. Unfortunately this work so valuable was skipped for
a long time by the communist regime, because a part of the members of this institute was seen as cooperator with the Quisling
Government and as such were sentenced, imprisoned and killed by the communist government.
