Swenson Swedish Immigration Research Center (SSIRC)

The Swenson Center located at Augustana College, is a national archives and research institute providing resources for the study of Swedish immigration to North America, the communities the immigrants established, and the role the immigrants and their descendants have played in American life. This is achieved by promoting and initiating academic research in the field and by collecting and cataloguing Swedish-American archival and library materials. Another major role for the Center is to assist people researching their Swedish-American genealogy.
