I’ve blogged about the Minnesota Digital Library before and last week I learned about some additions to it through one of the library emails I receive. It involves the The Roseau County Historical Society and Museum in Northwestern Minnesota, along the border with Canada. “The Minnesota Digital Library (MDL) is pleased to share newly digitized audio recordings from the Roseau County Historical Society (RCHS). The recordings come from the society’s radio program called “A Look Back in Time Stories,” broadcast on local radio station KJ102 FM, as well as several more oral histories, programs, and interviews. This is the latest set of audio files from RCHS that are now freely accessible in MDL. All of them explore the history of the Roseau area, including the Northwest Angle.”

“Highlights from these new additions include a program on prehistoric Roseau County by archaeologist Mike Bulak; an interview with David Johnson, one of the founders of the Polaris snowmobile company; and a panel discussion on Scandinavian art, music, instruments and traditions with three Minnesota professors.”

Listen to all of the audio recordings in MDL today.
