Some South Dakota organization also house records here, including the South Dakota Resources Coalition, South Dakota Farm Bureau, South Dakota Nurses Association, South Dakota Humanities Council and the South Dakota Farmers Union.

Manuscript collections come from a variety of sources. Many of the collections relate to rural life in South Dakota but also include the papers of alumni. Most of the collections offer significant insight into South Dakota or the region, but the primary focus of this collection is twentieth century rural South Dakota. These materials may include:

  • Papers, records and published materials of South Dakota and alumni authors.
  • Modern political papers, including grassroots politics and political figures associated with South Dakota and South Dakota State University.
  • South Dakota and regional materials — including, but not limited to, the papers of organizations, local businesses, community figures, families and especially material related to farming and its development in South Dakota.

All material is treated according to the guidelines set forth in individual gift agreements governing a particular collection and the policies and procedures of the Archives.
