Of these large holdings, the Hansen-Mengers, Jorgensen-Sorensen and Walker-Johnson collections are notable because they each span more than a century and contain more than 15,000 letters each, much of it being two-way correspondence. These are the largest collections of Danish American single-family letters known to exist.

In addition to these large individual collections, the archive houses 353 smaller individual collections and institutional holdings for the United (Danish) Evangelical Lutheran Church, Dana College, Trinity Theological Seminary, the Danish Lutheran Publishing House, the Danish Brotherhood of America, the Danish Sisterhood of America, the Danish American Heritage Society, and the American Society of Danish Engineers.
