This Library Guide will direct you to materials specifically about groups in Minnesota. Largely you will find these in the Marilyn Lass Center, on the 2nd floor in the middle of that floor. Books in the Lass Center are either FOR REFERENCE ONLY (variously labled) or circulating. Make sure you grab the one that you can borrow. There are many collections in the vicinity that you can explore as well, including various Historical Societies. The Historical Society in St. Paul has many great resources, some there, some available digitally: https://www.mnhs.org/
