Welcome to the Northfield History Collaborative
The Northfield History Collaborative (NHC) preserves and makes accessible digital versions of records of the history of the Northfield, MN area.
The NHC was established in 2007 as a forum for local libraries, archives, museums and others to collaborate in identifying, describing, digitizing, and making accessible materials related to the history of Northfield. We share metadata standards, a technical platform, a web-based portal, and, most importantly, a commitment to work towards providing comprehensive access to the records of Northfield history.
Our initial foci and the content of the first four collections included in this portal relate to two themes: Education in Northfield and the James-Younger Gang Bank Raid. We hope you find useful the manuscripts, photographs, pamphlets, newspaper clippings, and books in this growing collection.
We welcome questions, suggestions and new partners in this endeavor.
