Press Release:
Lyon County Historical Society’s New Online Collections Management System
In March, the Lyon County Historical Society (LCHS), 301 W Lyon St, Marshall received a Minnesota Historical and Cultural Heritage Small Grant of $9,500 for CollectiveAccess Data Conversion. The project, which consisted of data conversion from the former museum’s system to CollectiveAccess, setup on the public site, training, and data cleanup, was completed this summer.
CollectiveAccess is an online, open source-based collections management software available through the Minnesota Alliance of Local History Museums (MALHM). Organizations using the CollectiveAccess system have to opportunity to share as much or as little of their collection on-line as they wish. The benefit of sharing the collection online is that it becomes more accessible to researchers and the public.
LCHS currently has over 15,000 items from the museum collection cataloged on the system. As of now over 200 are shared on the public site and more are added daily.
To see the public site and search through the collections that are already being shared, visit: www.mncollections.org
Minnesota Historical and Cultural Heritage Grants are made possible by the Legacy Amendment's Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund through the vote of Minnesotans on Nov. 4, 2008. The Legacy Amendment supports efforts to preserve Minnesota land, water and legacy, including Minnesota history and cultural heritage.

Pedestrian Safety Education Survey
The Minnesota Department of Transportation is developing a new education campaign to improve pedestrian safety across Minnesota. Whether walking your dog, traveling to work or school, running errands, or improving your physical and mental health, you're a pedestrian at some point during the day.
We want your feedback to make sure our campaign messages are easy to understand and bring value to everyone in our state. Please take this short survey to help us understand how you drive and walk.
This Pedestrian Safety Education Campaign is a coordinated statewide effort that will promote safe driving and walking behaviors and reduce pedestrian-involved crashes. Everyone plays a role in keeping our roadways safe.
