Note on Indian Trade Goods Research: The Museum of the Fur Trade Quarterly published by the Museum of the Fur Trade, Chadron, Nebraska is one of the most useful sources for information regarding the types of goods involved the fur and robe trade eras.  This journal has been in publication since 1965.  As such, the total number of individual articles that contain valuable information about the material culture of Plains Indian tribes are too numerous to include here.  The table of contents for each issue may be viewed by clicking here. Alternatively, the Museum of the Fur Trade can be contacted to obtain a copy of an index for all past issues of the Museum of the Fur Trade Quarterly.
