South Dakota History Hub

The South Dakota History Hub connects teachers with resources from the State Historical Society and State Library, to assist them in building their own knowledge and in teaching students about South Dakota’s history, government, geography, and economy.

The hub features resources from primary source documents to videos. While resources are tagged by their connection to South Dakota social studies standards, teachers will need to vet for relevancy and prior knowledge.
