Collections Management
Fax: 651-296-9961
The Collections Management Department organizes the Society's collection of books, periodicals, state archives, manuscripts, maps, photographs, newspapers, films and videos, sound recordings, works of art, and newspapers, and creates tools such as catalogs and inventories that help our patrons locate and use materials in these collections.
The department is in the process of creating a manual to document its practices and procedures. Completed portions of the manual are available at: http://www.mnhs.org/library/processingmanual.
Other manuals and reports available:
- Congressional Papers Appraisal Committee Report, 1993
- Congressional Papers Appraisal Background, 1993
- Transcribing Manuscripts
