HIST 489 (Fall 2007)

Sept. 24
I found a short article about the Ivar Aasen monument on Concordia's library website (http://www4.cord.edu/library/Archives/sculpturetour/aasen.htm). I also tried googling Aasen and found a short bio on wikipedia.

Oct. 8
Went up to the archives to see if they had anything but they were having some computer problems. I did get one article from the Forum in 1939 about how a royal Norse couple had come to Fargo and seen the monument.

Oct. 15
Went to the library and found a couple books with references to Aasen and his work with nynorsk, an alternate Norweidgen national language. I also found a couple more articles online.

Oct. 25
I found the archives of old Concordian newspapers on Concordia's website and have started looking through them for any reference to the monument.

Oct. 29
Posted outline on wiki.
I FOUND STUFF! I found three articles about the monument and one about Peter Reite, the student who raised the money, in the archives for The Concordian. I also went to the archives and researched Paul Fjelde. I found about nine pages of info on him.
