The Minneapolis Collection contains thousands of historic photographs of the city dating from the 1840s to the present. The photo collection is particularly strong in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and contains images of buildings, people, places and events.

Not all photos in the collection have been digitized due to copyright restrictions. For information more information on copyright or to access a photo that does not have a thumbnail image online please call Special Collecitons at 952-847-8200 or email specialcoll@hclib.org
