For the Director’s Report I would like to describe a typical day in the Archive to you. As a matter of fact, I would love to describe a typical day, but if there is one thing we learned over the past year, it is “a typical day in the Archive is atypical.”

If you have time for only one book this year, then use that time to read Under the Cloud. This is the story of one woman’s life and the qualities of courage and commitment, intuition and faith, that make it uniquely her own.

What do we have in the Archive, and how can we make it more accessible? While last year was spent organizing our physical location, we want to spend this year working on internal operations and outreach.

What a difference a year can make! Last year during our Fall Volunteer Week we were surrounded by empty space. A few tables were set up and some people were even working on the floor. Since then we have had major changes in facilities, business and personnel.

Dr. John W. Nielsen’s resignation as the Archive’s Executive Director marks a turning point in the history of the Danish American Archive and Library. He will continue as Director Emeritus and will have the same desk in the same office as before, so despite his altered role, there will be continuity.
