About the Research Library

How to Begin

• Submit a request for an appointment in the Research Library at research@hennepinhistory.org
• Upon receipt of your appointment request, our archivist will email you to discuss your research goals and determine whether you need to consult the resources in person or can conduct your research of the HHM archives on-line. 
• Our archivist will provide a list of relevant archival material if any exist. Prior to your first research session (whether in person or on-line), you will need to determine which materials you want to access. Note: this initial discussion with our archivist is at no-charge. If HHM does not have relevant resources for your inquiry, you may be directed to another institution. 

Fees for Research, Photocopies, and Digital Images

Fees support the continued preservation, research and digitization of our collections; payments are non-refundable. There is no fee for assistance while doing self-directed research. High school and undergraduate students are exempt from Research Fees.
