Fort Union Trading Post NHS has several collections of archaeological and research materials. Research materials consist of a park library, original documents, research files, and microfilm. Fort Union's library is one of the most extensive libraries on fur trade history and Northern Plains tribal cultures. Fort Union's archaeological collection is also one of the largest archaeological collections in the National Park System. A series of archaeological digs took place at Fort Union Trading Post NHS between 1966 and 1988, with the most extensive work being done in the mid- to late-1980s.
