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. Stephanie 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.
