Project Overview
Partner Organizations: Anoka County Historical Society, Carver County Historical Society, Dakota County Historical Society, Minnesota Association of Museums, North Star Museum of Boy Scouting and Girl Scouting, Preservation Alliance of Minnesota, Ramsey County Historical Society, Scott County Historical Society, and White Bear Lake Area Historical Society.
The partnership of nine organizations is conducting a study to determine if it is feasible and beneficial for organizations to share resources to meet essential, but not mission-related functions-so-called "back of office" needs. An experienced project manager or management firm will be hired to coordinate all activities.
The final report will identify if planning or piloting a cooperative back-office solution will benefit history organizations; if so, a plan for doing so will be included. If other solutions-ranging from doing nothing to adopting entirely an existing model that meets the needs of the history field- are determined to be most appropriate, such a recommendation will be made.
