Now available! Online Research

CCHS is thrilled to introduce our new digital archiving platform, CollectiveAccess. As we work to make the full transition to the new system, additional items will become available in the next few days.

CollectiveAccess has been adopted by several Minnesota historical societies and is endorsed by the Minnesota Alliance of Local History Museums, of which CCHS is a member.

One of the benefits of CollectiveAccess is a better public research experience. Those interested will be able to access more information about the items in our collections from the comfort of their own home, with a more robust, user-friendly system.
