This center houses the State Archives, a museum, historic preservation efforts, and research and publishing offices. On display at the museum are three permanent galleries that highlight the cultural history of South Dakota from the Native Tribes to the present day.

The State Archives has records and documents that showcase the heritage of this region. Visitors will notice that government officials, teachers, students, and historic preservationists regularly mention and reference these records.
