The goal of the publication program of the Norwegian-American Historical Association is to publish historical scholarship that invites a broad readership. We have been at it for more than seventy-five years and project a program of publication that reaches decades into the future.

Our most recent publications cover a wide range of topics. Please visit the "publications" area for more information about each book.

Our next volume will be three books in one. It will be an English translation of Johannes Wist’s trio of novels about the character Jonas Olsen. Just as did those who read these novels serialized in a Norwegian-language newspaper published in Iowa, contemporary readers will follow the The Rise of Jonas Olsen with curiosity and pleasure. Expertly translated and introduced by Orm Øverland of the University of Bergen, Norway, these novels offer a rich view of Norwegian-American life in both rural and urban settings.

Plans and possibilities for the future include a history small town life, of Norwegian-American life in the Twin Cities, a study of architecture in the immigrant community, and further volumes of Norwegian-American Studies. Suggestions, of course, are always welcome. Just leave us an electronic message at naha@stolaf.edu. Please send your suggestions to the attention of the editor.
