NCHS Archival Collections Storage Project, Phase 2
Phase II of the NCHS Archival Collections Storage Project
180 cubic feet of historic records documenting Nicollet County history, located in the archival collections storage area, were re-cataloged, re-housed and re-shelved. The process has served to condense the collections freeing up space for future storage and has made the storage space itself more safe, efficient and professional.
