| FORM 990 - ORGANIZATION'S MISSION | OUR MISSION IS TO GATHER, PRESERVE AND SHARE THE STORIES OF ALL THE PEOPLE AND COMMUNITIES THAT ARE PART OF ANOKA COUNTY. VALUES STATEMENT: THE ANOKA COUNTY HISTORICAL SOCIETY IS AN INCLUSIVE ORGANIZATION ACCOUNTABLE FOR PRESENTING AND CELEBRATING BOTH THE TOLD AND UNTOLD STORIES OF ANOKA COUNTY. WE INVITE PEOPLE TO JOIN US ON THIS JOURNEY TO IGNITE CURIOSITY ABOUT THE PAST AND TO UNDERSTAND OUR SHARED EXPERIENCES. |
| FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 2 | NEW PROGRAMS ACHS INTRODUCED IN 2023 INCLUDE UPDATED CEMETERY TOURS AND A CREATIVE WRITING CURRICULUM FOR MIDDLE SCHOOL. THE CEMETERY TOURS RECEIVED A FACE-LIFT FROM THEIR ORIGINAL STATE, CREATED 20 YEARS AGO. NEW RESEARCH ADDED INTERESTING CONTENT FOR GUESTS, AND SPRING PLACEMENT ON THE CALENDAR ASSURED NO CROSS-OVER WITH THE GHOSTS OF ANOKA WALKING TOUR, WHICH IS POPULAR IN THE FALL. METRO NORTH TV RECORDED THE GLEN CARY TOUR, WHICH IS NOW AVAILABLE ON YOUTUBE AND THE ACHS WEBSITE. NOT ONLY WILL THIS STAND AS DOCUMENTATION FOR THE FUTURE, BUT WE WILL SOON MOVE THE PROGRAM TO A PAY- PER-VIEW OPTION TO CREATE INCOME FOR THE MUSEUM. THE SECOND NEW PROGRAM ACHS ADDED IN 2023 COMES IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE ANOKA MIDDLE SCHOOL FOR THE ARTS. WORKING WITH THEIR STAFF TO ADAPT OUR JAMES GROAT CIVIL WAR DIARY PROGRAM FOR THE CLASSROOM, STUDENTS SPENT FOUR WEEKS WITH THE MATERIAL. FIRST, THEY READ PORTIONS OF THE BOOK AND DISCUSSED HOW IT RELATED TO THEIR SIXTH-GRADE CIVIL WAR UNIT. THEN THEY LOOKED FOR THE UNNAMED CHARACTER IN THE DIARY, WORKING TO IMAGINE THEIR EXPERIENCE WITHIN A HSITORICAL CONTEXT. NEXT, THE STUDENTS WROTE A CHARACTER SKETCH AND FINALLY A STORY ABOUT THAT CHARACTER. ACHS SPENT TIME IN THE CLASSROOM FOR THIS AND PRODUCED A PODCAST EPISODE. THE PROJECT CULMINATED IN A PRESENTATION AT THE MINNESOTA ALLIANCE OF STATE AND LOCAL HISTORY MUSEUMS. |
| FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4A | THE ANOKA COUNTY HISTORICAL SOCIETY GATHERS COMMUNITY STORIES TO CREATE A COMMON MEMORY OF ANOKA COUNTY'S EXPERIENCES. OFTEN, THIS IS ACCOMPLISHED THROUGH RESIDENTS BRINGING IN FAMILY ITEMS UNSOLICITED AND SHARING THE STORY ASSOCIATED WITH THE ITEMS. SOMETIMES, THOSE ITEMS AND STORIES FEEL ENGAGING ENOUGH TO WARRANT AN ORAL HISTORY RECORDING, PODCAST EPISODE, NEWSLETTER ARTICLE, OR EXHIBIT. SOMETIMES, ACHS SEEKS INFORMATION AND COLLECTION ITEMS BASED ON AN INDENTIFIED VOID IN THE ARTIFACT DATABASE-- SUCH IS THE CASE WITH THE VETERANS VOICE PROJECT, FOCUSED ON THE MOST RECENT VETERANS SERVING FROM THE GULF WAR TO THE PRESENT, THE MANUFACTURING PROJECT COMING UP IN A FEW YEARS, OR ECHOES OF BRAVERY, A CALL FOR THE STORIES OF VIETNAM ERA FAMILIES. ACHS GATHERS ADDITIONAL STORIES DURING PROGRAMS, AS PARTICIPANTS SHARE THEIR EXPERIENCES AND FAMILY HISTORY. WE COLLECT SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS AND COMMENTS. |
| FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4B | PRESERVING THIS MATERIAL MEANS CORRECTLY STORING COLLECTIONS ITEMS IN A BOX, ON A TUBE, OR HANGING IN A FIREPROOF LOCKER. IT ALSO MEANS DIGITIZING DOCUMENTS AND MAPS, TAKING INVENTORY OF ARTICLES OF CLOTHING FOR DAMAGE, PHOTOGRAPHING 3D ITEMS FOR REFERENCE PURPOSES, AND MAINTAINING A FACILITY ENVIRONMENT CONDUCIVE TO PRESERVATION. GETTING PEOPLE EXCITED ABOUT THE COLLECTIONS REQUIRES PROGRAMMING LIKE BEHIND-THE-SCENES TOURS AND THE ADOPT-AN-ARTIFACT PROGRAM. THESE ALLOW THE PUBLIC, MEMBERS, AND FRIENDS TO SEE HOW THE ACCESSIONING PROCESS OCCURS, UNDERSTAND THE NUMBERING SYSTEM, AND FEEL MORE CONNECTED TO THE ITEMS ACHS HOLDS FOR THE PUBLIC GOOD. THE ROBUST VOLUNTEER PROGRAM AT ACHS ALLOWS PEOPLE OF ALL AGES AND SKILLS TO PARTICIPATE IN PRESERVING LOCAL HISTORY. WHETHER IT'S SCANNING IMAGES, FILING, OR DATA ENTRY, OUR VOLUNTEERS BRING A SENSE OF COMMUNAL ACCOMPLISHMENT TO THE MUSEUM WHILE GIVING STAFF A CHANCE TO MENTOR AND GUIDE PEOPLE INTERESTED IN PUBLIC HISTORY. |
| FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4C | SINCE 2020, WE HAVE FOCUSED ON PROGRAM AND COLLECTION ACCESSIBILITY TO HELP RESEARCHERS AND THE GENERALLY CURIOUS OUTSIDE OFFICE HOURS. THIS HAS MEANT RECORDING CONVERSATIONS FOR HISTORY 21: THE PODCAST, CONVERTING FILMS AND TAPES TO DIGITAL FORMATS, MAKING DIGITAL IMAGES OF THE ARTIFACTS, AND TRANSCRIBING MANUSCRIPTS. WE CONTINUE TO ADD PORTIONS OF OUR COLLECTION TO THE ONLINE DATABASE, MNCOLLECTIONS, AVAILABLE THROUGH OUR WEBSITE, AND ADD BONUS CONTENT TO HISTORY 21: THE VAULT FOR SUBSCRIBERS. OUR WORK IN 2023 WAS TO SET THE STAGE FOR PRESENTING PROGRAMMING FROM OUR BOOKSHELF AND RECORDING THEM. THIS WILL PROVIDE A LOWER-COST ALTERNATIVE FOR PEOPLE TO ENJOY OUR PROGRAMS, ACTING LIKE ON-DEMAND VIEWING SERVICES. SHARING INFORMATION ALSO ENTAILS ADDING AND MAINTAINING CONTENT ON OUR WEBSITE, ANOKACOUNTYHISTORY.ORG. IN ADDITION TO THE PODCAST, CALENDAR, AND DIGITAL PROGRAMS, THIS ALSO MEANS CREATING ONLINE EXHIBITS, BLOGS, AND LINKS TO NEWS CLIPS. VIEWS ON OUR WEBSITE REACHED 40,000 PEOPLE IN 2023.
