The Atkinson Center Historical Library is the repository of Patrick Atkinson's personal collection of books, manuscripts, ephemera, and artifacts relating to Human Rights, American Slavery, (North) Dakota Territory, and American History.

Professional access to these items provided upon request. It is our goal to digitize and post many of these items here for the benefit of genealogists and other online researchers.

The Atkinson Center Historical Library is a proud member of the Midwest Art Conservation Center and the American Association for State and Local History.
