https://placestaffing.com/5xuafn3 We are pleased to announce that we recently released a set of educational guides to Northfield-area history called Primary Source Sets. Primary source sets are online collections of digitized historical materials—from photographs to diaries and more—arranged by topic. These sets all reflect the local Northfield experience of a larger historic event, theme, or era.

https://fayberrystory.com/x7ayojyob The sets explore these twelve topics:

• Settlement & Immigration
• The James-Younger Gang Bank Raid
• Malt-O-Meal in Northfield
• Agriculture & Farming
• Milling in Northfield
• Women in Northfield
• World War I Home Front
• 1918 Influenza Epidemic
• World War II in Northfield
• Northfield Architecture
• Religion in Northfield
• Entertainment in Northfield

https://lindawarrenprojects.com/qsgrnym7kt Each set includes a topic overview, links to approximately 20 digitized items on the Northfield-Rice County Digital History Collection (DHC), discussion questions, related resources, and a guide to using primary sources for research. Several benchmarks of the Minnesota K-12 Academic Standards in both Social Studies and English Language Arts can be explored using these sets, as well.

We want to spread the word about these amazing resources and provide guidance so teachers, students, and the whole community can discover their stories.”

https://zzkustom.com/4oet6vq The DHC developed these sets with guidance from the Minnesota Digital Library and the Digital Public Library of America. These publications were made possible in part by the people of Minnesota through a grant funded by an appropriation to the Minnesota Historical Society from the Minnesota Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund. The sets are open to all researchers: please follow the link to the Primary Source Set landing page.
