We upgraded our equipment recently with a new photobox! These are used to take high quality & detailed photos of artifacts in our collection. Now, we have both a small one (used for items like this jewelry box) & a large one. Pictured are Collections Specialists Emily & Taylor!

Special thanks to @hcc1992 for allowing us to take a staff field trip to tour your facility! Our trip included a special tour of the @hcc1992 Museum in St. Paul where we learned more about Hmong culture through their display of instruments, artwork, cuisine, etc.

Soon, we'll be celebrating Stearns County makers and the 150th anniversary of the Pioneer Settlers Association at our Living Memory event! Check out Mary Bruno from Bruno Press in St. Joseph in action!! @stearnscohistorymuseum/video/7226383838228827434?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc&web_id=7119610509251167790" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">tiktok.com/@stearnscohist…

A map just can’t take a bath in peace around here. Our Conservation Resident is washing old maps to strengthen the paper and remove staining. #PaperConservation instagram.com/p/Cq-7sivODiC/
