North Dakota History: Readings about the Northern Plains State is a collaborative effort of the State Historical Society of North Dakota and the North Dakota Center for Distance Education. The textbook has been developed for the high school student, and is designed to promote and encourage a better understanding of our state’s rich history.
The content in North Dakota History has been collected from more than 100 years of articles published by the State Historical Society of North Dakota. Each article in the textbook is a snapshot of a particular time of North Dakota, and explores events in great detail as the book tells the story of how the state has changed over the generations.
An online collection of photographs, letters, diaries, maps, newspapers, moving images, and audio files, from the collections of North Dakota State University, Concordia College, Prairie Public, and the SHSND powered by the software, CONTENTdm.
A number of primary document sets have been developed to accompany and assist with the articles in the North Dakota History: Readings about the Northern Plains State textbook. These documents, chosen to tell the story about particular historic events through the eyes of those who lived in the past, are intended to provide further research, inquiry, and understanding for students and teachers investigating the fascinating history of North Dakota.
The document sets include images of original manuscripts, photographs, maps, and artifacts gathered from the archives of the State Historical Society of North Dakota. The document sets are accompanied by explanatory materials and learning activities. The document sets were compiled and the supplemental material written by Dr. Barbara Handy-Marchello.
