Between 1979 and 2018, the papers presented at the Dakota Conference were published in an annual compilation (papers delivered at the 1969-1977 events were compiled and published in 1981). Print copies from several years are available in the CWS Gift Shop. Select editions are also available here for download. The series index recently updated by Matthew Housiaux is an invaluable tool for researchers and covers the years 1990-2015.
