South Dakota: Land of Vision

The archival collections of the State Archives are a testament to the diverse vision of many early inhabitants of South Dakota.  Their dreams, aspirations, and philosophies are documented in historical records that reveal the richness of our cultural heritage.

This online exhibit offers a brief view of the variety of collections available to the public for research purposes.  It was developed to celebrate South Dakota's diverse history and to raise public awareness of our valuable archival resources.  Many archival repositories throughout the United States celebrate Archives Week at different times during October.  We hope this exhibit will be the first of many annual Archives Week activities held in South Dakota to celebrate the importance of our historical records!
