The Archives

In 1987, to commemorate the 150th anniversary of "Telers" in America, Telelaget decided to publish a set of Norwegian-American history books.

Volume I - Emigration. This book gives an overview of Telemark and settlement in America.

Volume II - Settlements. (SOLD OUT) This book is a collection of articles from the Telesoga and Aarbok for Telemark (1926) written mostly by Torkel Oftelie about the Telemark settlements in America.

In recent years, the Board of Directors has decided to publish a third book:

Volume III - The third issue, not yet available, will contain articles about settlement in the wester states. It will contain more stories about individual communities mostly in the Dakotas and Montana.
