The Historic Minneapolis Tribune - which was purchased by State Library Services and available via ELM until June 30, 2014 – will soon be made available via the Minnesota Historical Society’s new Minnesota Digital Newspaper Hub. The Minnesota Historical Society released this statement about the Historic Minneapolis Tribune collection:
Last year, State Library Services transferred ownership of the digitized Minneapolis Tribune (1867-1922) to the Minnesota Historical Society for integration into the Minnesota Digital Newspaper Hub. The Minnesota Historical Society created a new technical standard to guide the conversion of almost 300,000 historic Minneapolis Tribune digital newspaper pages. This is a long, complex project, but we anticipate access to be restored in 2015. For more information, contact Jane Wong at jane.wong@mnhs.org.You can also find out more about the Historic Minneapolis Tribune and the Minnesota Digital Newspaper Hub from Sarah Quimby, Library Processing Manager for Minnesota Historical Society, as she presents the webinar “Minnesota Digital Newspaper Hub” on Tuesday, March 31, 2015 hosted by Minitex.
