Inventory of Three-Dimensional Collection

All 18,243 items in the Goodhue County Historical Society’s three-dimensional artifact collection were cataloged. This process included cleaning, properly storing, and photographing each object, as well as recording them in both digital and paper databases. The collections assistants finished ahead of schedule and used the rest of their time to complete a number of smaller tasks, such as re-shooting some artifacts which were previously represented by inadequate pictures.
This project helped the GCHS to move toward the accreditation standard of having at least 80% of its collection inventoried. Additionally, it has made the society’s work easier and more efficient, as well as helped to preserve Goodhue County’s history moving forward.
