Historic Records Collection & Preservation
In order to encourage the study of the history of the Iron Range, the Research Center identifies, collects, processes, catalogs, preserves, displays, and makes easily accessible the historically significant written, oral, and visual records of Minnesota’s Iron Range.

The Iron Range Research Center has digitized items from a number of its collections and provides finding aids and abstracts for many others. Working to make more of our collection accessible online is a top priority.
