This study, with the help of combined research methods, focuses on the analysis of the activities of groups claiming to be Vedic Slavs in Slovakia. Although these groups lay claim to a unified basis – the published canon of the Slavic-Aryan Vedas – they show considerable differences in the interpretations and applications of this doctrine. Currently, they also show certain similarities in their organization, namely, unclear institutionalization and unclear boundaries between religion and spirituality. The results of this research thus confirm the validity of the theory of social theorists about the blurring of the boundaries between spirituality and religiosity even in the Slovak alternative religious milieu.

This paper deals with the research of Prof Franz Josef Beranek focused on the so called “Habans”, a social religious group that settled in western Slovakia. This research is reconstructed according to the so called German Archive, which forms a part of the scientific collections of the Institute of Ethnology and Social Anthropology of the Slovak Academy of Sciences. The first part is focused on the life of Franz Beranek and his research on the Haban community, including the history, the linguistic situation, and comparisons to other Anabaptist groups. The second part deals with the procedure of cataloguing the archive and its history, structure, and issues.
