More DescriptionThe North Dakota Man Camp Project began in 2012 with a field trip to the Bakken to document the social and material conditions of workforce housing in the region. A motley team of scholarly researchers was equipped with digital audio recorders, cameras, pens and paper, notebooks, and GPS units as well as a wide range of expertise in social history, architectural history, archaeology, and field documentation. The team sought to prepare an archive that documented the extraordinary changes that have taken place in housing in the Bakken over the past five years. This circular provides a brief introduction to the ongoing research and preliminary conclusions. It serves as a study guide for citizens to discuss life in the man camps of North Dakota.
