About The Press

Established in 1997, the South Dakota State Historical Society Press has made a commitment to produce books reflecting the rich and varied history of South Dakota and the region. As part of the South Dakota State Historical Society, the Press preserves, researches, and promotes the evidence of South Dakota's colorful culture and heritage. Having recently celebrated the Press's tenth anniversary, it has already gained a deserved reputation for publishing well-researched and scholarly books of the highest standard. The Press's catalog features consistently popular books that are both accurate and enjoyable.

The South Dakota State Historical Society Press aims to build on its burgeoning reputation as it reaches into the future. The goal is to compliment the existing catalog with books on new areas of South Dakota history, a children's series, entitled "Prairie Tales," a biographical series featuring some of the most important and influential figures in the region's past, and the continuation of the highly successful Historic Preservation series.

"The SDSHS Press acquires and publishes outstanding manuscripts that contribute to a greater understanding of our state and regional history. It is the source when it comes to South Dakota history."
—Donald Simmons, Executive Director, McGovern Center for Leadership and Public Service, Dakota Wesleyan University

"The South Dakota Humanities Council always looks forward to featuring new offerings from the South Dakota State Historical Society Press. The books represent the best of the state's amazing culture and heritage and guarantee access for future generations."
—Sherry DeBoer, Executive Director, South Dakota Humanities Council
