Passing along some information on the Minnesota State
Historical Society's Research Services, on obits, etc.
==================
IN-DEPTH SEARCH
What is an In-Depth Search? Questions that involve more complex research,
in more sources or in non-indexed sources, or with more analysis required in
the answer. Examples would be questions like "Can you provide me with
production statistics for the American Crystal Sugar Company for the years
1930 - 1940?" or "Is there a map of the Grand Forks railroad yard within the
railroad records?" "Will you do an obit lookup on your microfilmed
newpaper collection?" These requests often include analysis and interpretation
of the materials describing the sources in addition to locating the desired
answers. The fee for this service is:
$11.00 per half hour for MHS members
$12.00 per half hour for Minnesota residents
$15.00 per half hour for non-Minnesota residents

* Minnesota State Censuses Note: The state censuses of 1865, 1875, 1885,
1895, 1905, and the 1910 and 1930 Federal Censuses also require an in-depth
search, because there are no indexes for these censuses.
* City / Telephone Directory Listing
Pre-payment is required for all searches. The search fee includes up to
five standard-sized copies. Additional copies will be charged separately.
LINKS TO OTHER SERVICES
* MHS Library: See the Minnesota Historical Society Library web page for
more information about classes offered at the Library or to search the
catalogs.
* Minnesota Death Certificate Index (1908 - 1966): The Minnesota Historical
Society hosts an online index of death certificates to improve access to
this popular resource. The cost per copy of each uncertified death
certificate is $8.00, if you have searched the Index yourself and have
provided the certificate ID number.
* Interlibrary Loan: The Minnesota Historical Society participates in
Interlibrary Loan on a very limited basis, as the Library is a special
collection rather than a circulating library. Most books, all un-filmed
manuscripts and State Archives resources, and all audio-visual materials in
the MHS Library are non-circulating. Most microfilmed materials are
available for library-to-library borrowing through Interlibrary Loan.
Photocopy requests for specific pages or articles may also be sent through
Interlibrary Loan.
Our Librarians are always ready to assist on-site researchers. There is no
charge for written, email, or telephone requests that can be answered
quickly, using readily available sources.
