ABOUT US - The Danish American Heritage Society was founded in 1977 to explore and record the history of Danish immigrants to North America.

PURPOSE OF THE DANISH AMERICAN HERITAGE SOCIETY
- The Danish American Heritage Society (DAHS) was founded in 1977 to explore and record the history of Danish immigrants to North America. The DAHS is a historical organization. The word heritage was used by the founders to signify broader activities such as sponsoring conferences and cooperating with other organizations on joint projects. The DAHS believes that there is an intrinsic value in identifying, understanding, and preserving our ethnic heritage. We devote our energies to achieving that goal.

The DAHS publishes twice yearly a historical journal, The Bridge, and a Newsletter. The Bridge contains scholarly and popular articles, essays, translations, stories, and book reviews. The Newsletter provides DAHS a means of publicizing its activities as well as reporting on activities of members. It also serves to promote fellowship among those with an interest in events relating to Danish-American and Danish-Canadian life, culture, and history.
