Funds are to be distributed through a competitive grant process. The Minnesota Historical Society must administer these funds using established grant mechanisms, with assistance from the advisory committee created under Laws 2009, chapter 172, article 4, section 2, subdivision 4, paragraph (b), item (ii).

Twenty-two new books concerning collections management, exhibit creation, programming, oral history, interpretation, and site management have been added to the Murray County Museum's research library. These books, along with the few already in the museum's possession, are now part of a small lending library for other regional museums and private citizens to use. These books have been advertised as a lending library through the Murray County historical society newsletter, through word of mouth with the South by Southwest Museum Directors group, and via Facebook.
