Predominant religious denominations in North Dakota history are Roman Catholic, Lutheran, Methodist, Episcopalian, and Presbyterian. Most extant records remain with the local church. Some records in manuscript, microfilm, or printed form can be found at the State Archives and Historical Research Library, the Chester Fritz Library, the North Dakota Institute for Regional Studies (see North Dakota Archives, Libraries, and Societies), and the Family History Library (FHL).
