The background of The Bridge cover shows an old stone bridge, which still stands in southern Denmark.

It is appropriate that we use the title The Bridge for our journal, since one might characterize the mission of the DAHS as building bridges:

-Bridges back to to the Denmark our Danish ancestors left behind.

-Bridges over to the Denmark of today.

-Bridges between today’s Danish Americans and the America of their ancestors.

The Bridge is edited by DAHS board members.
