              The Frank E. Denholm Papers primarily document Denholm’s service as U.S. Representative for South Dakota’s First Congressional District from 1971 to 1975. The collection reflects his advocacy for rural America, particularly through his work to reinstate the Rural Electrification Act and support legislation on agriculture, rural water systems, and rural development. It includes extensive press releases, congressional reports, financial disclosures, and newspaper clippings related to his legislative activities.

              Campaign materials feature prominently, with county-level organizing documents, bumper stickers, advertisements, and memorabilia spanning multiple election cycles. The collection contains correspondence, including exchanges with political figures such as George McGovern, Richard Kneip, J. Edgar Hoover, and Tom Daschle.

              Denholm’s earlier and later careers as an FBI agent, sheriff, auctioneer, and attorney are also represented. Non-congressional files include his work in law enforcement, his private business ventures, and his involvement in regional civic life.

              John E. Miller Papers
              SDSU-Archives UA 053.015 · Papers · 1865-2020

              The John E. Miller Papers document the academic, professional, and scholarly contributions of Dr. John E. Miller, longtime faculty member in the Department of History at South Dakota State University. The collection includes course materials, oral history interviews, public talks and presentations, manuscripts, published works, and extensive research files. The bulk of the collection centers on Miller’s nationally recognized work on Laura Ingalls Wilder and Rose Wilder Lane, but also reflects his broader research interests in American history, democracy, political culture, and Midwestern small-town life.

              The general material series includes correspondence, photographs, awards, articles about Miller, and records of his involvement with organizations such as the South Dakota Humanities Council, South Dakota State Historical Society, Phi Kappa Phi, and the Midwestern History Association. Course materials reflect Miller’s teaching of U.S. history, South Dakota history, American political thought, and Osher Lifelong Learning Institute courses following his retirement. Talks and presentations span decades of academic conferences, workshops, and public panels, including participation in the Dakota History Conference and Laurapalooza.

              The interviews series includes oral histories with figures such as George McGovern and John Wooden, as well as SDSU faculty and administrators. Early recordings were created on audiocassette and later on digital media; some are accompanied by transcripts and release forms. The writings series includes manuscripts, book proposals, article drafts, encyclopedia entries, and collaborative works. Sixteen boxes are devoted to Miller’s research and writing on Laura Ingalls Wilder and her family, comprising handwritten notes, research from archival sources, critiques of other Wilder scholars, and drafts of his own publications.

              Miller’s research files cover a wide range of historical figures and topics such as democracy, elections, U.S. and South Dakota history, creativity, and popular culture. Subject files include material on Johnny Carson, Walt Disney, Sam Walton, and Lawrence Welk, as well as materials related to his books Looking for History on Highway 14 and South Dakota State University: A Pictorial History, 1881–2006. Also included are Brookings County historical research drawn from the Donald D. Parker Collection; materials related to the Brookings County Democratic Party donated by Ruby Mershon; and artwork and records concerning Hubert B. Mathews and Hubert Jean Mathieu.

              Audiovisual and digital content includes 231 audiocassettes, 10 digital recorders, 17 CDs, 1 DVD, 18 USB flash drives, 24 SD cards, and born-digital materials. These recordings document interviews, lectures, and research materials gathered over the course of his career.

              This collection is especially valuable for its preservation of the scholarly legacy of one of South Dakota’s foremost historians. Miller’s research on Laura Ingalls Wilder contributed significantly to American literary and cultural history, and his oral histories and writings provide rich documentation of South Dakota’s political, educational, and social landscape. The materials reflect the intellectual and civic life of the region, while also offering insight into the historian’s role as teacher, writer, and public scholar. The breadth and depth of this collection make it an essential resource for the study of Midwestern identity, public history, American democracy, and the institutional history of South Dakota State University.

              Marilyn Richardson Papers
              SDSU-Archives UA 053.011 · Papers · 1947-1994

              The Marilyn Richardson Papers document the growth and formalization of dance as an academic discipline and performing art at South Dakota State University (SDSU), largely through the pioneering efforts of Marilyn Richardson. Spanning the years 1957 to 1994, the collection includes awards, correspondence, programs, newsletters, publicity materials, scrapbooks, photographs, slides, and videocassettes that trace the establishment of SDSU’s dance curriculum, student organizations, and performance traditions.

              The collection includes numerous awards and plaques recognizing Richardson’s contributions to SDSU, state and regional dance education, and professional associations such as AAPERD and the South Dakota Association for Health, Physical Recreation, and Dance. General files feature Dance Club records, concert choreography, dance camp and workshop materials, administrative proposals, and personal correspondence. Included are materials related to the creation of the dance minor, biographical documentation of Richardson, and collaborative records involving figures such as Nellie F. Kendall, Barbara Kohn, and Terry Larvie.

              Photographs, slides, and videocassettes provide visual documentation of dance concerts, rehearsals, student and faculty performances, the Motion Machine student company, workshops, guest artist residencies, and experimental choreography. Publicity materials consist of posters created to promote student and faculty concerts and often feature collaged images of past performances. Scrapbooks compiled by the Dance Club and Modern Dance Club include photographs, programs, and clippings that reflect student engagement and the evolving role of dance within the university community.

              This collection captures the dance program at SDSU during a period when the arts were gaining broader academic legitimacy within land-grant institutions. It reflects Marilyn Richardson’s leadership in elevating dance from extracurricular activity to academic offering, her commitment to student development, and her efforts to connect university dance with K-12 outreach and public engagement across South Dakota. The records document the creation of the dance minor, the founding of the Motion Machine touring company, and the long-standing Annual and Experimental Dance Concerts—milestones that shaped the presence of performing arts at SDSU. The collection serves as a valuable resource for understanding the intersection of education, performance, and community arts during the late 20th century.

              Mary Jo Benton Lee Papers
              SDSU-Archives UA 053.024 · Papers · 1984-2010

              The Mary Jo Benton Lee Papers document her work in teaching, program development, diversity initiatives, and outreach at South Dakota State University from 1987 to 2010. The collection is composed of four main areas: the Promotional Techniques for Engineers class, student class projects, personal files, and the SDSU–Flandreau Indian School Success Academy.

              The Promotional Techniques for Engineers class, created in 1987 by Dean of Engineering Ernest Buckley and Benton Lee, was designed to train engineering students in journalism and public communication. Students promoted university and statewide events, managing substantial budgets to design publicity campaigns, advertisements, news releases, and promotional materials. Records include class lecture notes, campaign notebooks, audio-visual materials, assignments, and proceedings of the American Society of Engineering Education describing the course.

              The Class Projects series contains files related to student-led promotional campaigns, including the Impact ’87 Trade Fair, the Making Connections ethics seminar, and the Expanding Horizons Together entrepreneurship workshop. Materials include promotional reports, news clippings, media kits, advertisements, event programs, and evaluation documents that illustrate how engineering students applied communication skills in real-world projects.

              The Personal Files series includes Benton Lee’s professional records while serving as graduate assistant for the South Dakota Space Grant Consortium (1992–1998), during which South Dakota’s tribal colleges were incorporated into the consortium, and her role as Diversity Coordinator for the College of Engineering (1998–2010). These files reflect engineering diversity initiatives, faculty meetings, scholarship programs, recruitment and retention activities, management and leadership training, and national organizations promoting women and minorities in STEM.

              The Flandreau Indian School Success Academy files document the development of an early and intensive college preparatory program for American Indian high school students co-founded by Benton Lee. Materials include program reports, annual evaluations, histories of the Flandreau Indian School, commencement materials, and ten-year program reviews spanning 2000 to 2010.

              This collection provides a record of teaching methods that combined communication and engineering, highlighting how students were engaged in leadership and professional skill-building through public relations campaigns. It also illustrates the broader efforts of South Dakota State University to support diversity and inclusion in engineering education, particularly through partnerships with tribal colleges and the Flandreau Indian School. The papers reflect Benton Lee’s career as a scholar, teacher, and administrator who shaped engineering outreach, diversity initiatives, and early college preparatory opportunities for underrepresented students.

              The Oscar and Alice Simonson Papers offer an unusually detailed and continuous financial and operational record of a South Dakota family farm from 1941 to 1979, a period that spans World War II, postwar agricultural expansion, and major changes in rural economies. The Farm Family Record Books serve as a rare primary source documenting everyday economic decisions, household consumption, and farming practices in the northern Plains.

              Alice Simonson’s precise and sustained recordkeeping provides insight into the role of women in farm management and the intersection of domestic and agricultural labor. Additionally, the accompanying photographs, oral history interview, and personal correspondence contextualize the lived experience of mid-20th-century farm families, enriching research in rural history, agricultural economics, women's studies, and social history.

              This collection is valuable for scholars studying rural life, the evolution of federal agricultural policy, and the social fabric of family farming communities in the Midwest.
