We’d like to thank everyone who has sent notes of support, words of encouragement, and thoughts our way as we begin to look ahead toward a new future for North Dakota Quarterly.
We particularly appreciate the willingness of subscribers, contributors, and colleagues to be part of this process. To keep this conversation going and to keep you informed of our plans, new projects, and collaborative opportunities, we’d like to encourage you to add your name to our email list. We will not pelt you with requests for contributions or fill your inbox with frivolous updates. We do, however, recognize that at least part of NDQ’s future will be digital, and we want to make sure that people who care about the Quarterly are kept informed of new (and classic!) digital content.
We’d very much like to keep in touch as NDQ moves forward. Please add your name to our email list here to be the first to be receive updates on our plans, new content, and other NDQ news as well as to contribute to the ongoing conversation as we seek to transform the one-hundred year legacy of North Dakota Quarterly.
The image at the top of this post is a painting by Elmer Halverson from Wheelock, North Dakota. Wheelock is a small, nearly abandoned town in the heart of the Bakken oil patch and this painting is of the North Dakota badlands. The oil boom has put pressure on the badlands, briefly re-invigorated small towns like Wheelock, and is partly responsible for the current financial challenges across the state. This painting was on the cover of NDQ 24.1 (Winter 1956) which was the first NDQ volume to appear after a 13 year hiatus during the Great Depression and World War II.
