Thing 5 Libraries and Media Centers

I really enjoyed taking a look at the Minnesota Digital Library which has lots and lots of historical items, searchable by topic as well as lots of geological maps and data. I typed in Chaska and examined a hand-written journal from the farm of "Ezra Peabody" which had lots of interesting charts and data about wages, price of stamps allowing the viewer to see the actual historical item. There was even a digital documentation of the building of the aerial bridge in Duluth which was fun to look at. I need to bookmark this site so that I can place it on my Media Center Webpage.
