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. Transcribed is the main title together with location, date, named people and other information felt important. For several items there are multiple copies, for which there is a slight difference or is printed on different paper stock.
The collection has been organized into eleven topical series: Agricultural demonstrations, Community jubilees, Dances, Groceries, Plays, Programs & Social events, Religious, Retail businesses, Sale bills, Sport events and Turkey carnivals.
