Local History: Duluth & Minnesota Collections
The Duluth and Minnesota local
history collections are non-circulating, reference collections
containing materials of local and regional interest. In most cases,
materials from these collections may be used in the Library only.
The Duluth
Collection:
Duluth's past and present
is documented through the materials contained in this collection.
A wide range of Duluth-related subjects are covered, including
general history, architecture, schools, churches, business and
industry, civic concerns, recreation, laws, politics and climate.
Books written by or about Duluthians are also found in the Duluth
Collection.
The Minnesota
Collection:
The Minnesota Collection
covers a wide range of state-related subjects, with special emphasis
given to St. Louis County, Northeastern Minnesota and Lake Superior.
Works by many Minnesota
authors are also included.
The Duluth and Minnesota Collections are supplemented by library
clipping files, local & regional newspapers and magazines,
a slide collection, and the industry scrapbook collection. While
materials from the Duluth and Minnesota Collections cannot be
checked out, there are duplicates of some titles in our circulating
collections. For security reasons, the Duluth and Minnesota Collections
are kept in a locked room; please ask library staff for assistance.
