Protecting Our History:
Partnering with the Museum of Danish America


The Danish Sisterhood of America has entrusted the Museum of Danish America with our precious historical items. In the Fall of 2018, a rental truckload of local lodge memorabilia, national board records and other priceless memories were delivered to the Museum in Elk Horn, Iowa. 


For more information out the Danish Sisterhood historical items, see the Museum of Danish America website.

A Note From Tova Brandt at MoDA:


"The Danish Sisterhood Digital Library Project is underway! With your help, we can raise the final funds to reach our $30,000 goal.


The first batches of the documents from the Danish Sisterhood archive are being digitized and added to the Museum of Danish America's online digital library of Danish-American newspapers and journals. Once online, they will be accessible to anyone who wishes to browse through the history of the Danish Sisterhood through newsletters and ledgers from lodges across the United States.


In order to fully realize the goals of this project, we ask your support for the digitization technology, project staff, and online support that will ensure the long-term success of this project. Financial gifts of any size can be directed to the Museum of Danish America, designated to the "Sisterhood Project." The museum is a 501c3 non-profit; please call the museum at 712-764-7001 or email development@danishmuseum.org with any questions."

Join us on April 16, 2024, at 5 pm C.S.T., as Cheyenne Jansdatter Nordquist, Archives Manager, and Addison Marsengill, Digital Archives Intern, host a Zoom presentation. The session will provide updates on the progress of our scanning project and showcase interesting discoveries.


As a friendly reminder, our scanning efforts encompass the Danish Sisterhood News dating back to 1947 and the DSS ledgers that have been donated to us. Once the scanning process is complete, the images will be added to our Online Newspaper Library, offering easy access to Sisterhood members, researchers, and other interested parties alike.


We invite you to be part of this journey into the past and gain insights into the rich history of your organization. Mark your calendars and don't miss out!
