Online Access to Museum Artifacts
October 1, 2024: The Bloomington Historical Society has received
a grant for $2550 "to improve collections care and management through an
updated collections management system." In addition to vastly improving
museum recordkeeping, the CollectiveAccess system will bring Bloomington
history to the public through
MNCollections.org,
where you can
search for and view items in museum collections from your internet-connected
device or computer.
This project has been funded in part by the State of Minnesota from the Arts
and Cultural Heritage Fund through the Minnesota Historical Society.
