The Norwegian-American Historical Association in Norway, NAHA-Norway, is a division of NAHA, St. Olaf College, Northfield, Minnesota. It directs its activity toward two main goals. First it serves as NAHA's branch in Norway and keeps contact with members here. Second NAHA-Norway works to promote scholarly interests in Norwegian-American Studies in Norway, as well as encourage Norwegian contributions to this field of study. The first public meeting arranged by NAHA-Norway was a five-day seminar on Norwegian-American literature and history at Høvikodden in June 1984. Since then several conferences have been held, one in Stavanger in 1986, in Hamar (1989), Voss (1992), Sogndal (1994), Trondheim (1997), Hamar (2000), Bergen (2003) and Bø (2006). The tables of content of our volumes of seminar proceedings and published books are listed below.
