The State Archives also holds records from county and other local government offices, as well as manuscript collections from private donors, and an impressive collection of South Dakota newspapers on microfilm. These records are available to the public in our research room. A few collections are available on the South Dakota Digital Archives, along with over 50,000 photographs from our holdings.

Records containing private information about individuals (such as social security numbers or health information) may be restricted from public access.
