For over twenty years\, MDL has partnered with organizations like the Nicollet County Historical Society to digitize their collections and make them accessible online. In this presentation\, Stephanie will demonstrate how to search MDL’s collection of over 61\,000 unique photographs\, documents\, maps\, A/V recordings\, and more. She will explore some of MDL’s creative projects and share highlights of unique Nicollet County history that can be found in MDL. \nStephanie is the Digital Curator for the Minnesota Digital Library. With a background in local history and exhibit development\, she oversees the digital storytelling projects for MDL\, conducts K12 educational outreach\, and manages MDL’s social media accounts. The Minnesota Digital Library is made possible in part by the people of Minnesota through an appropriation to the Minnesota Historical Society from the Minnesota Legacy Amendment’s Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.

Former NCHS Research Coordinator and longtime volunteer Bob Sandeen will take us on a journey through time using some of our most valuable historical resources: maps.\nFrom county atlases to plat books\, these documents don’t just chart the land—they tell the stories of the people who lived and worked there. Since 1885\, Nicollet County maps have helped historians trace farm boundaries\, identify landowners\, and uncover hidden connections between the past and present. Without them\, our research would be far more challenging.\n\nThe meeting is open to the public. There is no cost to attend. Light refreshments will be provided.\n\nBusiness Meeting Information URL:https://www.nchsmn.org/event/annual-meeting/ LOCATION:Nicollet County Historical Society – Treaty Site History Center\, 1851 N.

Snake oil salesmen\, quacks\, mountebanks – call them what you will – preyed on a gullible public\, many of whom were hoping for a miracle cure.    Millions of dollars were made selling products bearing names such as Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp Root\, Kidney\, Liver\, and Bladder Cure; Radam’s Microbe Killer; and Hood’s Sarsaparilla. Minnesota was no exception\, and dozens of would-be doctors and druggists pawned off a huge number of questionable medicines until the Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906 began to slow the flow of injurious and useless medicines. We will explore both the local and the national patent medicine industry during our visit to yesterday’s medicine cabinet. Numerous examples of period bottles and advertising will be shared. \nSteve Ketcham is a retired language arts teacher who has spent the last 50-plus years collecting antique bottles\, stoneware\, and related advertising. He has served numerous terms as president of the North Star Historical Bottle Association. In addition\, he has served as president and board member of the Federation of Historical Bottle Collectors\, a national bottle-collecting organization.   \nThe meeting is open to the public. There is no cost to attend. Light refreshments will be provided. \nPlease note: The 2022 Annual Report will be available in digital format on our website. Physical copies will be printed by request. Please call 507-934-2160 to request a physical copy of the report by March 31\, 2023. \nDownload the meeting packet.
