The "Books Scandal of 1919" exhibit is a project of the Digital Initiatives Department of the North Dakota State Library (NDSL). The exhibit primarily uses content and information from NDSL's Political Prairie Fire digital collection, which is dedicated to the Nonpartisan League (NPL) and Independent Voters Association (IVA) era of North Dakota history (circa 1910s-1930s). The collection is hosted on Digital Horizons.
Much of the information for this exhibit was derived from the journal article "The North Dakota State Library Scandal of 1919" by Larry Remele, which appeared in North Dakota History (Winter 1977, vol. 44, no. 1, p. 21-29). North Dakota History is a publication of the State Historical Society of North Dakota.

Many of these resources and programs are funded under the provisions of the Library Services and Technology Act from the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
