| Beginning in 1969 the State Historic Preservation Office initiated a county by county survey of Minnesota to identify properties with potential significance in the areas of history, architecture, and engineering. The properties were recorded with color slides, and the surveys were designed to identify specific property types in all 87 Minnesota counties. Also included are slides depicting state owned buildings (dated 1984-1985), bridges, a sample of Wright County Century Farms (1977), property in St. Peter affected by the 1998 tornado, and properties located in the Lincoln Park Historic District in Mankato (dated 1994). The slides in the first five boxes are arranged in alphabetical order by county name; the last three include other specific surveyed properties. | |||||||||||

| To preserve Minnesota's archaeological record, in 1977, the Minnesota state legislature appropriated funds to the Minnesota Historical Society to properly collate existing data and acquire data by survey on additional significant sites. To implement the survey four goals were established: formulate models that predict the distribution of archaeological sites through the state; locate additional archaeological sites; update the archaeological site files; design and implement an archaeological site database. | |||||||||||
| Survey archaeologists conducted surveys in all or part of 31 counties (Anoka, Blue Earth, Brown, Carver, Cass, Chisago, Crow Wing, Dakota, Douglas, Faribault, Fillmore, Houston, Isanti, Itasca, Kanabec, Kandiyohi, Koochiching, Meeker, Mower, Murray, Nobles, Otter Tail, Pine, Red Lake, Redwood, Rice, Rock, St. Louis, Sherburne, Washington, Wright). Records include collection catalogs, correspondence, draft archaeological survey reports, field notes and maps, information from local collectors, inventories of rural archaeological historic sites, photographs and slides, random sample survey area documents, sample unit forms, site forms and maps, sketch maps, survey methodology, and surveyed quarter-quarter sections. | |||||||||||
