Images of the Past

Digital Content from SDPB.org

Volumes have been written about South Dakota history but the state's story is also told in drawings, photographs, film, video and other media. "Images of the Past" offers a fresh look at images of the well-known and the nearly unknown places, events, and people of South Dakota's past. (official site)
