Readers can share in the history and culture of the state and the Northern Plains through the Society's quarterly historical publication, North Dakota History: Journal of the Northern Plains, which features well-illustrated, fascinating articles by historians and writers. Recent issues have included interviews with former governors John Davis, William Guy, and Arthur Link, an article about the claim of Joseph DeSomet Lewis to be the son of Meriwether Lewis and a Teton Sioux woman, and an account of the concert tours of John Philip Sousa in North Dakota. Begun as the North Dakota Historical Quarterly, the journal has published the scholarship and writings of hundreds of authors since 1926.
In 2000, a valuable research tool, an index of all articles and reviews that appeared in North Dakota History between 1945 and 1998, was published by the Society. Members of the State Historical Society of North Dakota Foundation receive North Dakota History and Plains Talk as a benefit of membership.
