North Dakota Society of Professional Engineers Auxiliary Records

The North Dakota Society of Professional Engineers Auxiliary, created in May of 1965 but active from 1967 to 1997, was an organization dedicated to supporting engineers and their families while promoting education and community involvement. Throughout its history, the Auxiliary organized meetings, social events, and fundraisers, while also managing scholarship programs for students pursuing engineering related fields. Its records document both formal operations and everyday activities, including constitutions, bylaws, meeting minutes, correspondence, and financial materials that show how the group was structured and how decisions were made. Membership lists, officer rosters, and committee reports provide insight into who was involved and how participation evolved over time, while event programs and newsletters often include details such as attendee lists, speakers, and award recipients. Informal materials like scrapbooks, photographs, and pamphlets add a more personal dimension by capturing moments from events, highlighting achievements, and preserving the experiences of members. Together, these records present a well-rounded view of the Auxiliary’s role in North Dakota and on the national level.
