The Max Kade Center for German-American Studies was established at the University of Kansas in 1968 with the support of a generous grant from the Max Kade Foundation, New York. This collection of some 5,000 volumes and other items reflects the life and culture of German immigrants to America, especially to the Midwest. The core of the collection comprises books from the Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Turnverein and the 125- volume library of the Lawrence, Kansas, Turnverein . A major project of Center librarian Rose Jones is to enter the library collection into an online database to provide greater accessibility to researchers in German-American studies throughout the world. A Volga German archive developed by Norman Saul, professor of history at KU, has been recently added to the Center's collection.
