Measurable Outcome(s)
The expected outcomes for this project was the publication of five MNopedia articles on topics about Murray County's history.. The outcomes were exceeded by the publication of one extra article on the 1992 Chandler -Lake Wilson Tornado. Because the researcher, Dr. Anita Talsma Gaul, was already familiar with some of the research materials, she was able to write and publish the original five articles in a shorter amount of time than expected. She went on to write and submit a sixth article that is also accepted for publication.
