FISCAL YEAR 2016 AT A GLANCE

We are living in a time of significant social change. And thanks to you, our supporters, we are able to use the power of history to help inform, to understand and to navigate the opportunities and challenges of change, especially in this post-election season. In the words of American Alliance of Museums president, Laura Lott, “Our institutions are uniquely positioned to listen, learn and educate; to give historical context; and to foster empathy and inclusion by sharing the stories and perspectives of all people.” As we collectively seek to forge a new path forward in our nation—and in Minnesota—organizations like MNHS have a unique opportunity to lead. Our goal at the Minnesota Historical Society is not only to preserve history, but to advance the understanding of where and how far we’ve come; to share diverse stories and perspectives; to spark different, more productive conversations. As a historical society, our vantage point gives us an edge. History helps us understand who we are and how we got to where we are. By taking time to understand each other, we can help define a different and better future. My involvement here at MNHS over the years continues to be a joy and a constant learning experience, opening up my eyes and ears to so many stories and perspectives, and broadening my understanding of the history that I did not know, as well as shedding new light on the history that I thought I knew. In the past year, we have engaged our communities in new ways. We sponsored multicultural exhibits, such as Beyond Bollywood, hosted dialogic discussions at our historic sites and continued important outreach. Our Somali oral history project serves as another example as we strive to create opportunities for broader conversations. We also continuously seek to reflect a variety of viewpoints in our collections and exhibits. This year, we have also made connections with more Minnesotans than ever before. Our efforts are being recognized. In the past year, the Peb Yog Hmoob/We Are Hmong Minnesota exhibit received the History in Progress Award from the American Association for State and Local History. The Suburbia exhibit received a MUSE Award from the American Alliance of Museums. And every year the Minnesota Historical Society Press publishes award-winning books sharing interesting perspectives and spurring important conversations in our communities. It is a true honor to serve MNHS and the state of Minnesota in my role as board president. I am grateful and excited to work with the other members of the MNHS Executive Council, the MNHS staff and volunteers, our members and supporters, and all Minnesotans as we build our future together.

Thank you,

Phyllis Goff, President FROM THE DIRECTOR AND CEO

2016 was a strong year for both mission delivery and financial performance. Nearly 1 million guests visited MNHS historic sites and museums, nearly a quarter of them students. We leveraged our resources and educational expertise to reach more young people, especially those with financial and educational challenges. We engaged with communities of color and American Indian nations, and we expanded our outreach with our online presence, digital collections and social media platforms. We also celebrated the 100th anniversary of our Local History Services team. Since 1916, when this became an official function of our institution, we have provided field services and technical support to local history and preservation organizations across the state. Another way we do this is by awarding grants from the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund. In 2016, we awarded 214 Legacy grants across Minnesota, totaling $4.5 million. We continue to expand the stories we tell. The revitalization of Historic Fort Snelling remains one of our highest priorities. By telling the many stories of this area, known in Dakota as Bdote, more people from Minnesota—and around the world—will find a connection to this unique place. We appreciate your continued support in contacting your public officials to endorse this undertaking. Further design and construction at the fort will be part of a $34 million request in the 2017 legislative session. The remaining $12 million will be secured through private funding, and this is off to a very good start. We also are seeking the resources needed to fund other important work, including education and diversity, digital preservation, endowing core positions and preserving our historic sites. Finally, we celebrate our members, donors, staff, governing board members, elected officials and 2,500 volunteers and interns. Together, your commitment to MNHS allows us to deliver better outcomes year after year. Through history, we’re making a difference in preserving and sharing the stories of Minnesotans, providing context for today and understanding for facing our future. That’s reason to celebrate!

Thank you,

MNHS added almost 200,000 pages of the Duluth Herald and the Duluth Evening Herald from 1887-1922 and a number of Civil War-era newspapers to the already extensive digital newspaper archive. A fourth grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities in FY16 supported the effort to digitize pre-1923 newspapers from Minnesota’s ethnic and immigrant communities for the National Digital Newspaper Program. And a project is now underway to digitize the backup of current newspapers since the end of the microfilm program in 2009. This work will enable more people, no matter where they live, to have access to these items.
