We’ve all come to rely on Wikipedia as an extensive source of
information on the web. Now, in a similar vein, we have a
growing resource of online information about all things
Minnesota. Thanks to the Legacy Amendment, the Minnesota
Historical Society has launched and expanded MNopedia
(www.mnopedia.org), the first online encyclopedia about
Minnesota. MNopedia provides reliable, multimedia entries
related to the state and its history. The site will be tested,
refined and broadened with additional content and tools, giving
students, teachers, researchers and the public greater access to
information, images, documents and other historical resources
relating to Minnesota. Read expert essays on topics from
architecture to environment. Explore shorter entries on subjects
from the industrial era of Minnesota history. Review historic
images plucked from Minnesota Historical Society collections.
Then tell us what you think. Post in the MNopedia discussion
forum, comment on an essay or entry, or contact an editor at f
