Minutes Ledger is a written document of the first historical organization of Kandiyohi County. It contains the articles of incorporation and minutes and financial reports of the organization that later becomes the Kandiyohi County Historical Society.
Letter from Eric Norelius, founder of Gustavus Adolphus College, to Reverend Professor W. K. Frick, May 9, 1887. Written in English for the 25th anniversary of the founding of Gustavus Adolphus College, it summarizes the circumstances under which the college was begun and the conditions that existed in 1862. Prompted by the suffering experienced by many during the U.S. Civil War, the college was founded to train parochial school teachers who could also serve congregations as ministers.
