NHPRC Grant

NHPRC Documenting Democracy

An 18-month Basic Project grant awarded by the National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC) is significantly supporting the cataloging of the Minnesota Historical Society's unprocessed acquisitions of government records and manuscripts collections.

This May our staff began processing over 250 cubic feet of Stearns County tax records. Six pallets of volumes, including many that were oversize, were brought into our bulk processing area. Each pallet had to be sorted. During the sorting, missing volumes were noted, and the plastic wrap was removed from all the volumes that were bound together. As the volumes were housed in numbered boxes, the finding aids were created. The images below provide a snapshot of the process.
