Local History

Although the library building is currently closed, the archives staff is available to answer questions by phone and email and assist with finding online sources. In addition, we can make a limited number of scans or photocopies of hard copy archival materials for researchers.

Here is a list of digitized materials available online from the UMD Archives and Special Collections

The local history collections include collections owned by the University of Minnesota Duluth, and collections that are part of the Northeastern Minnesota Historical Collections which are on permanent loan from the St. Louis County Historical Society.
