Inventory of Books & 3-D Objects
To provide better organization of the museum collections, allowing for greater public access to the community?s historic resources.
$4,500,000 the first year and $6,500,000 the second year are for history programs and projects operated or conducted by or through local, county, regional, or other historical or cultural organizations or for activities to preserve significant historic and cultural resources. 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).

Targets were achieved in part because we had a dedicated team of experienced, knowledgeable people and in part because Collector Systems (CS) is easy to work with. We are generating reports and lists from CS and making them accessible in both print form and in PDF, Excel and Word form. We are using them to find information about inventoried items in the collection and easily sharing information about the inventoried collections with congregation members, the general public, researchers, and potential collaborators.
