Located at St. Olaf College, in Minnesota, USA, the Norwegian-American Historical Association publishes scholarly books, documenting research and interpretations of the American experience of immigrant Norwegians. The organization was founded in 1925, and its Norwegian-American Studies publications are available online.^[1]

Ole E. Rolvaag, the author of Giants in the Earth, became the Association's first secretary and archivist. Rolvaag initiated the collection of archives including letters, papers, books, periodicals, photographs, diaries and newspapers related to Norwegian-American life. The Association promotes Norwegian-American historical research and literary work; and helps maintain and develop archives of Norwegian-American historical material.
