Our collections cover all over the world, with an emphasis on Minnesota and the local region. We are located on the first floor in the southeast corner of the Memorial Library.

Teaching, Learning, and Research

Our primary goal is to use our collections to support the teaching, learning, and research needs of Minnesota State University, Mankato students, faculty, and staff in service of the state, region, and global community. We offer research assistance and in-class instructional sessions.
