WCHS ExhibitsWCHS has a permanent, growing collection of artifacts numbering over 40,000; and about 17,000 images scanned--all catalogued and archivally stored. Retrieving the collection's stories and information, and bringing them to the community with meaning and respect is certainly part of our mission. Everything is accessible via our searchable website. We have completed the process of bringing our collection of key artifacts representing the essential history of Waseca County in the form of a Timeline on our balcony level of the museum. The Timeline exhibit will be part of new programming and expanded hours for family visits to the museum. In addition to the permanent collection, we mount about two temporary exhibitions every year, and a holiday open house exhibit.

Program 3

WCHS Searchable WebsiteThe processing and indexing of artifacts, archives, newspapers, and so many other historical records is a constant and continuing activity. Making that information accessible online requires technological hardware, software and know-how. We are able to accomplish this accessibility with staff and outside consultants. We consider our Society to be among the more progressive in all these respects.
