From its inception, NAHA has been headquartered at St. Olaf College, where it remains today. Now a century old, this independent, 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization is supported by more than 1,000 members from across the United States, Canada, and Norway. NAHA’s founders were driven by a desire to move beyond the sentimental myths and hero-worship of early immigrant narratives. They sought instead a more rigorous, scholarly approach to preserving and interpreting the Norwegian-American experience. Their vision gave rise to a remarkable archive, dedicated to capturing and protecting the lived stories of Norwegian immigrants. Among NAHA’s early leaders were influential figures such as novelist and professor O.E. Rølvaag, historian Knut Gjerset, journalist Kristian Prestgard, and academic Laurence Larson. Central to NAHA’s mission was American historian Theodore Blegen, who became the founding editor of the Association’s publications. Blegen championed what he called a "grass-roots" approach to history—an emphasis on the everyday lives and voices of immigrants. Rather than spotlighting only the extraordinary, he focused on letters, diaries, and other primary sources to capture the experiences of ordinary men and women navigating the challenges of migration and settlement. Since 1926, NAHA has published Norwegian-American Studies, a scholarly journal now produced in partnership with the University of Minnesota Press. The journal, along with NAHA’s robust book publishing program, highlights research in fields such as history, literature, religion, art, and cultural studies. The organization has also played a vital role in amplifying women’s ethnic history, publishing works by and about immigrant women like Aagot Raaen, Gro Svendsen, Elisabeth Koren, and Elise Waerenskjold. Theodore C. Blegen, noted University of Minnesota historian, was appointed the first editor of NAHA. Later editors — Kenneth O. Bjork (1960–1980), Odd S. Lovoll (1980–2000), and Todd W. Nichol (2001–2017) — have built upon the Blegen tradition, opening new areas of research and expanding our range of critically acclaimed publications. In 2018, NAHA welcomed Anna M. Peterson of Luther College as the newest editor. Scope and Content: Records of the Norwegian-American Historical Association's publication program.

He became the object of much ethnic pride as he made his way in the American political system within the Republican party. But the study transcends the bounds of political biography to paint a very human portrait of a man who came to personify for many of his compatriots the American dream, moving as Nelson did from inauspicious beginnings as a poor immigrant boy to the heights of political power.

In this first book-length study of the immigrant community originally known as the Red Hook district and later as Little Norway, a Norwegian scholar traces its development and its place in the overall scheme of Norwegian emigration to America.

Lovoll details where Norwegian Americans live and to what extent their dreams and expectations of life in the United States have been achieved. From traditional lutefisk dinners to civic activism, Lovoll uncovers the festive spirit of contemporary Norwegian-American culture. This vibrant ethnic community maintains ties through genealogy, family reunions, and a shared culinary and arts and crafts heritage. Written by Odd S.

It is different from other histories of American literature in that the language of the writers and their readers was not English. There have been studies of American authors who have used languages such as French, German, Spanish, or Swedish, but this is the first comprehensive history of any literature written and read in the United States in another language than English.

These letters, annotated by Østgård, reflect the confidentiality of personal correspondence and provide a true picture of the experiences, feelings, and hardships of the individual family members as they adjusted to living in American society. Written by Diana McClun 90 3-6 Manuscript Manuscript material of “America-America Letters, Norwegian Immigrants write to each other” by Bjørn Gunnar Østgård “A Century of Urban Life: The Norwegians in Chicago before 1930” (1988) This significant work on immigrant life in America’s great cities examines the Norwegian urban experience as it expressed itself in Chicago. It serves to correct a strong rural bias in the historiography of the Norwegian-American population. The study is based on a thorough reading of secondary literature and on extensive research of primary sources. Written by Odd S.

From its inception, NAHA has been headquartered at St. Olaf College, where it remains today. Now a century old, this independent, 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization is supported by more than 1,000 members from across the United States, Canada, and Norway. NAHA’s founders were driven by a desire to move beyond the sentimental myths and hero-worship of early immigrant narratives. They sought instead a more rigorous, scholarly approach to preserving and interpreting the Norwegian-American experience. Their vision gave rise to a remarkable archive, dedicated to capturing and protecting the lived stories of Norwegian immigrants. Among NAHA’s early leaders were influential figures such as novelist and professor O.E. Rølvaag, historian Knut Gjerset, journalist Kristian Prestgard, and academic Laurence Larson. Central to NAHA’s mission was American historian Theodore Blegen, who became the founding editor of the Association’s publications. Blegen championed what he called a "grass-roots" approach to history—an emphasis on the everyday lives and voices of immigrants. Rather than spotlighting only the extraordinary, he focused on letters, diaries, and other primary sources to capture the experiences of ordinary men and women navigating the challenges of migration and settlement. Since 1926, NAHA has published Norwegian-American Studies, a scholarly journal now produced in partnership with the University of Minnesota Press. The journal, along with NAHA’s robust book publishing program, highlights research in fields such as history, literature, religion, art, and cultural studies. The organization has also played a vital role in amplifying women’s ethnic history, publishing works by and about immigrant women like Aagot Raaen, Gro Svendsen, Elisabeth Koren, and Elise Waerenskjold. Theodore C. Blegen, noted University of Minnesota historian, was appointed the first editor of NAHA. Later editors — Kenneth O. Bjork (1960–1980), Odd S. Lovoll (1980–2000), and Todd W. Nichol (2001–2017) — have built upon the Blegen tradition, opening new areas of research and expanding our range of critically acclaimed publications. In 2018, NAHA welcomed Anna M. Peterson of Luther College as the newest editor. Scope and Content: Records of the Norwegian-American Historical Association's publication program.
