MSUM Online Archives’ Collections
The MSUM Archives had two projects accepted by the Minnesota Digital Library.
The Minnesota Digital Library (MDL) supports discovery and education through access to unique digital collections shared by cultural heritage organizations from across the state of Minnesota.
The MDL will be digitizing photographs from the Solomon G. Comstock collection and diaries from the Randolph Probstfield collection.
Solomon Comstock, a pioneer of Moorhead, served in the state legislature and the U.S. House of Representatives. He donated the land that MSUM is on. His home on 8th St., the Comstock House, is currently a museum.
Randolph Probstfield was one of the first settlers of European descent in Clay County. His farm, in north Moorhead, is still a functioning farm to this day.
The MSUM Archives already has 417 digitized item in the MDL. They can be viewed here.
