Collecting pieces of Minnesota's past for the future
About
The Minnesota Historical Society preserves and makes available a wide range of materials chronicling Minnesota's history and culture. The goals of the Collections Department are to collect and preserve; provide access and interpretation; and engage in education and outreach. This blog is a tool to share these stories and let people know what is happening in the department.
David Durenberger, United States Senator
We mourn the passing of former US Senator David Durenberger, who represented Minnesota from 1979-1995. His signature issues were health care, the environment, and the Americans with Disabilities Act. He was also the author of the MNHS Press book "When Republicans Were Progressive," published in 2018. This photo portrait from our collections was taken in 1979, as he began his senatorial career.
