The Institute for Regional Studies & University Archives is pleased to make available a growing collection of digital materials via Digital Horizons, an online visual collection of historic images showcasing North Dakota and the Northern Great Plains. We invite everyone to explore the region as seen through the eyes of the people who lived here in the late 19th century and into the 20th century. Presented is a growing sample, currently of over 5,000 photographic images, of the more than 200,000 images that make up the photograph collections in the Institute for Regional Studies & University Archives. This sampling is only a ’snapshot’ of our total holdings. We invite you to come to the archives or contact us directly to learn more about our holdings.
Northern Great Plains, 1880-1920 features almost a thousand images from the Institute for Regional Studies as part of the Library of Congress’ American Memory, a digital record of American history and creativity. The University of North Dakota and surrounding states of Minnesota and Montana also provide digital access to historical resources for the region.
The goal of the Institute for Regional Studies & University Archives is to make the public aware of the quality and depth of the photograph collections in its collections and to encourage further research using original photographic materials. Offering this public web-based collection helps further the libraries’ and university’s missions of making unique collections and scholarship available electronically for use by students, faculty and staff, educators, and the wider community.
The images here are offered for research purposes. Individual digital copies may be requested by contacting the Institute for Regional Studies & University Archives. An online order form is available. Questions may be addressed to our NDSU.Library.Archives@ndsu.edu or by telephone at 701-231-8914.
