The Chair of the Čakavian Parliament in Lovran has been established with the clear goal of starting the systematic work on the valorization of the rich cultural and historical heritage of Lovran and its immediate surroundings, Lovranšćina (Lovran region). This paper provides an overview of the activities of the Chair in its first decade of work (2009-2019) by which this goal was achieved. The emphasis has been placed primarily on the scientific valorization of the mentioned heritage through two continuous activities: scientific conferences and the publication of the scientific journal Zbornik Lovranšćine, and the rich publishing production with which the Chair has become the leading publishing institution in the Liburnia area. The Chair’s work is evaluated through the confirmation of the thesis that the Chair has systematically, thoroughly, and continuously worked on valorizing the cultural and historical heritage of Lovran and Lovranšćina, successfully achieving its initial goals. Finally, we conclude that, with such work, the Chair has probably by far exceeded its founders’ initial expectations, becoming a model of scientific work of a civic association and generally a model of systematic publishing policy in several areas: from scientific over journalistic to literary, in which the Chair stands out on a regional and even a national level.
