Over 35 years later, MKI is now one of the most prominent orga- nizations in the United States, if not the world, for research and outreach on German?American topics. The Institute?s growing li- brary and archives house one of the largest collections of German- language materials published in , as well as primary source documents, such as letters, diaries, and business records. These resources are the basis for the Institute?s outreach activities and also draw scholars from around the world. They include thousands of books, articles, pam- phlets, and other items published in America, which deal with the Downtown Madison experiences of German?speaking (image credit: UW?Madison Photo Library) immigrants and the political, cul- tural, and religious aspects of Ger- man, Swiss, and Austrian settlement in North America; a The Max Kade Institute collection of several hundred family histories, diaries, and manuscripts of German?speaking immigrants and their The MKI was founded in 1983, the 300?year anniver- descendants; more than thirty current journals or sary of the first German settlement in America, as an newsletters on the subject of German?American studies or interdisciplinary university institute with a three?part genealogy; and many other materials. mission: to research the story of German?speaking im- migrants and their descendants in a global, multicul- The Institute also houses the North American German tural, and interdisciplinary context; to preserve Ameri- Dialect Archive, which contains thousands of hours of can print culture and personal documents in the Ger- recordings of immigrant dialects from the mid?1940s to man language and make them part of America?s story the present.

MKI?s relations with the UW?s Department of German, Nordic, and Slavic are espe- cially close. In fact, the original idea to found an institute for German?American studies in Madison was conceived by fac- ulty in the German Depart- ment who looked back on a long tradition of interdiscipli- nary research at their univer- sity. Contributing to that his- tory were Alexander R.

Madison and Dane County The décor of the Rathskeller and Stiftskeller not only re- flects German influences on the University, but also the immigration to Wisconsin. The 2000 Federal Census shows that 42 percent of all Wisconsinites claimed German as their primary ancestry; in Dane County, including the city of Madison, the figure was 40.4 percent. While Madison is not as strongly associated with Rathskeller German?American culture as, say, Milwaukee, the influ- (image credit: Antje Petty ence of German?speaking immigrants is still present and reveals itself in subtle ways in the local landscape and culture.
