Online Research


Our website's online research feature is currently down as we transition to our new collections management software, CollectiveAccess. We are working with the software team to get our new page up and running as quickly as possible.

In the meantime, please contact the museum directly with any research requests via the following:

CollectiveAccess has been adopted by several other Minnesota historical societies and is endorsed by the Minnesota Alliance of Local History Museums.

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

This project has been financed in part with funds provided by the State of Minnesota through the Minnesota Historical Society from the Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund.
