Nikolaj Thomsen Lünd, who went through so many name variations in his youth that he finally settled upon “N. T. Lund”, became a kind of Danish midwestern Everyman after immigrating to the United States in April of 1882 at the age of seven years.

Our volunteers have always been the lifeblood of our organization. John W. Nielsen, Ninna Engskow, Ruth Herman Nielsen and Flo Hansen started recording volunteer hours on July 28, 1992.

In the Fall 2007 Jottings, John W. Nielsen announced a name change for the organization (at that time still within Dana College) from The Danish Immigrant Archive to The Danish American Archive and Library to more accurately reflect the expanding nature of its focus and holdings.

The spring volunteer week will be April 21-25. We look forward to seeing many of you even though we know it entails considerable expense on your part in terms of travel, lodging and meals. Already we have an invitation to Julie and Charlie Rohlfing’s.
