Project Overview

The grant assisted in creating the initial issue of a scholarly journal, Minnesota's Heritage.

The overall goal of the journal is to provide to a broad spectrum of interested persons (including students and scholars) core information on the development of the state of Minnesota, with emphasis on the broad Minnesota River valley, based on objective, thorough research and analysis of a wide variety of resources and points of view. Each issue will include illustrations, maps, citations for the sources, biographies, and even tourist information about the areas covered. While the early issues will focus on the Dakota Conflict of 1862, its prelude and aftermath, the potential for extending that focus exists beyond that watershed event. This phase is intended to lay the foundation for the publication to become self-supporting by 2012 though the development and implementation of a comprehensive marketing plan.
