Books, Periodicals, and Maps in the collections are included in the Online Dakota Information Network catalog (ODIN). Catalog records for maps are being added to ODIN as possible, but access is currently through the reference staff. The Society catalog can be accessed on ODIN.
These collections attempt to cover all aspects of life and development in the area that is now North Dakota from the earliest times to the present. The focus is on the history of North Dakota, the northern Great Plains, natural history, exploration, fur trade, military, transportation, homesteading, agriculture, commerce, education, politics and social life. The federal serial set is one of the most extensive between the Mississippi River and the West Coast from the 1790s to the present. The map collection is one of the most extensive in the country showing the development of Dakota Territory and North Dakota from the early 1800s forward.
