Scope and Contents

The Griggs County Sentinel-Courier Broadside Collection consists of 104 broadsides that help to document many public events held in Griggs County, N.D. during roughly the first half of the 1950s. A small number are for events outside Griggs County. These posters help to inform us about events such as agriculture, community events, dances, grocery store advertisements, plays and many other types of community social events, religious events, sporting events and auction sales. Each item within the individual series is listed in the Contents listing below. This text is transcribed from the item, although the entire text is not given.
