HISTORICAL SKETCH

While the national Daughters of the American Revolution was organized in 1890, the counterpart on the state level in North Dakota was not established until 1915. Attempts to set up local DAR chapters in North Dakota had come to naught since 1893, apparently due to lack of numbers and organization. Then President-General of the DAR, Mrs. William Story, appointed the wife of North Dakota Congressman George Young to take on responsibility for organizing local chapters as regent for the DAR in the state.

Living in Washington, D.C. made the research and paperwork easier for Regent Young to document the lineage of potential DAR members back in North Dakota. Beginning with her hometown, Valley City, Mrs. Young established the Sakakawea chapter in 1916. Named for the Shoshone "Bird Woman" guide of Lewis and Clark, the Valley City chapter served as a springboard for other chapters.

The Minishoshone or "Smoky Water" chapter of Bismarck began in 1918, followed by the Fort Seward Chapter of Jamestown and the Dacotah chapter of Fargo, both founded in 1919. During the 1920s, the Red River Chapter of Grand Forks (1920), the Mandan (Indian) chapter of Mandan (1921), Sully Hill Chapter of Devils Lake (1922), Carrington Chapter of Carrington (1923), Pierre Verendrye Chapter of Minot (1925), and Quentin Roosevelt Chapter of Williston (1929), were founded. The Bad Lands Chapter of Dickinson was established in 1930. By 1937, chapters in Fingal and Arthur had been set up, too.

The philosophy of the State DAR is, of course, a mirror of the national organization. Basically the DAR calls for the furthering of the ideals which prompted the original patriots to call for independence from Britain. Further, the organization seeks to promote education as a cornerstone of maintaining America's freedom from tyranny. Preservation of the memory of the past is stressed too. Operations such as erecting historic site markers or reconstruction of buildings plays an important part of the DAR program.

Stressing what essentially were values of the late 19th and early 20th Century - the era in which the DAR was founded - the organization has maintained a relatively high profile in community and national affairs. While avowedly non-political, which is to say refraining from endorsements, the DAR has consistently taken a conservative stance on the issues of the day. Highly popular during the World Wars, the group suffered in the wake of the McCarthy era and during the Vietnam War. One prominent member, Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, resigned her membership after the DAR refused to allow Black singer Marian Anderson to perform in Constitution Hall, an auditorium owned by the organization. Still, the DAR has survived controversy in the past and has, according to some accounts, enjoyed a revival during the Reagan Presidency.

Like the national organization, the North Dakota will no doubt continue to exist and represent Americans interested in promoting the values of the American Republic as they see them. In so doing, an aspect of North Dakota political thought will live on and assert itself in the future.

SCOPE AND CONTENT

(NOTE: This arrangement applies to boxes 1-16. Boxes after 16 were added to the collection after it was processed and were not integrated into this organization scheme).

The Daughters of the American Revolution, State Conference of North Dakota Records consists of eight records series in two records groups. The series are divided as follows: North Dakota State DAR Conference Minutes and Reports, 1920-1987; North Dakota State DAR Subject Files, 1920-1981; State DAR Treasurer's Records, 1930-1980; Proceedings of National DAR Conventions, 1968-1983; National DAR Subject Files and Administrative Records, 1922-1982; North Dakota DAR Biographies, 1920-1949; Scrapbooks of the North Dakota Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, 1932-1978; and the Local Chapter Records, 1919-1983. The first record group, State Office files, is comprised of the first seven series enumerated above; the second record group, Local Chapter Records, is comprised of the eighth and final series. The entire collection occupies eleven and one quarter (11.25) cubic feet. Series I, the North Dakota State DAR Conference Minutes and Reports, 1920-1987, occupies one cubic foot. The minutes and reports detail the concerns facing the State DAR during the time periods concerned. Also included in this series are the By-Laws of the State Conference between 1926 and 1979. The minutes and reports are perhaps the most useful portion of the entire collection in terms of acquiring knowledge of policy and action taken by the State DAR. Because the numbers were small in the local chapters, the state conventions and minutes were at times somewhat informal.

Series II, the North Dakota State DAR Subject Files, 1920-1981, consists of the Americanization file, general instructions on the use of the flag and Pledge of Allegiance, "Better Film and Radio" material, credentials, International Relations file, National Defense file, President-General correspondence, Librarian Report, Regent's file, Scrapbook file, American History file, Bicentennial Commission correspondence, Children of the American Revolution file, Chaplain's Report, Conservation file, Constitution Hall file, Genealogical files, "Good Citizens" file, State Historian file, State Histories file, Honor Roll file, DAR Magazine subscriptions, Membership file, Public Relations file, Scholarship file, DAR Schools, State Yearbooks, and miscellaneous correspondence. Like its national DAR counterpart, this series details some of the specific interests of the North Dakota Conference of the DAR. Series II occupies approximately one and one-quarter cubic feet.

Series III, State DAR Treasurer's Records, 1930-1980, consists of Bond Budgets, Treasurer's Ledgerbooks, Financial Reports, and correspondence to and from the State Treasurer of the North Dakota Conference of the Daughters of the American Revolution. This series documents the efforts of the State DAR Treasurer's office over a fifty-year period to manage and organize the finances of the organization. As a result, this series illustrates the many interests of the State DAR such as scholarships, historic preservation, and other charities. Of course, the main thrust of Series III revolves around the collection of dues owed to the organization. Series III occupies approximately one-half cubic foot.

Series IV, Proceedings of National DAR Conventions, 1968-1983, occupies approximately one and one-half cubic feet. The proceedings are for the National DAR and detail the concerns of the national conference in much the same way the state DAR minutes and reports reflect North Dakota interests. Like the minutes of the state DAR, the proceedings of the national organization give a precise indication of the challenges and plans of the organization over the period of time covered than the subject files series. Series IV provides an interesting comparison between state and national groups.

Series V, the National DAR Subject Files and Administrative Records, 1922-1982, is comprised of membership lists, receipts and checks, motion picture committee files, DAR Magazine file, financial statements, correspondence, public relations, Seimes Microfilm Committee file, DAR Genealogical Library information, "Fact Sheets" on DAR, DAR Museum file, Junior Membership file, DAR Schools file, and general "good citizenship" materials. This series, which occupies one and one-half cubic feet, illustrates the various and sundry interests of the national DAR. In each file the strong pro-American patriotism theme is presented. The Administrative Records are comprised of correspondence, Continental Congress proceedings, national by-laws, handbooks, program aids, and special projects materials. Series V occupies approximately one and three-quarters cubic feet.

Series VI, the North Dakota DAR Biographies, 1920-1949, are short histories of members of the local chapters of North Dakota. This series occupies approximately one-quarter of a cubic foot. Chapters represented in this series include Sully Hill (Devils Lake), Quentin Roosevelt (Williston), Sakakawea (Valley City), Mandan (Mandan), Fingal (Fingal), Carrington (Carrington), and Badlands (Dickinson). Each biography contains the required family tree showing lineage linking the member to an American Revolution War soldier, as well as a short history of the member. The importance the DAR places on individual genealogy is graphically displayed in this series.

Series VII, Scrapbooks of the North Dakota Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, 1932-1978, are comprised of individual books filled with newspaper clippings, invitations, announcements, and applications for DAR "Good Citizen" awards. In addition to the scrapbooks, there is a small collection of recent (1975-1978) "Good Citizen" applications in file folders. This series provides a condensed look at the importance public relations plays with the DAR - both state and national bodies. Moreover, the series aptly portrays the emphasis the organization places on the participation of the young in patriotic endeavors. Series VII occupies two and one-quarter cubic feet.

Series I, Local Chapter Records, 1919-2004, which is the only series in the Local Chapter Records group, contains the records of the following chapters: Ft. Seward (Jamestown), Pierre Verendrye (Minot), Badlands (Dickinson), Sakakawea (Valley City), Minishoshe (Bismarck), Dacotah (Fargo), Red River (Grand Forks), Carrington (Carrington), Mandan (Mandan), and Quentin Roosevelt (Williston). The records consist of correspondence, reports, membership lists, treasurer's records, minutes of meetings, yearbooks, bank statements, by-laws, financial reports, and chapter scrapbooks (disassembled). The size of the respective chapter records has to do, in part, with the size and activity of the local organization. For instance, the Pierre Verendrye Chapter of Minot and the Badlands Chapter of Dickinson have the largest volume representation in this series; this was due to Minot's DAR membership numbers and Dickinson's active participation. All chapters, however, reveal the zeal and enthusiasm of the members for their organization and what it stands for. Series I occupies three and one-half cubic feet.
