Minnesotans tend to be fascinated with the past, especially the history of the culture of our state. That’s why so many people enjoy visiting the Minnesota Institute of Art, the Weisman Art Museum, or the Historical Society Museum, but there’s a fascinating place few people think about. Beneath the red-brick Elmer L. Andersen Library, perched on the bluff on the Mississippi’s west bank, are the remarkable and diverse archives held by the University of Minnesota Libraries. These archives are stored in nearly 100,000 cubic yards of caverns carved into the limestone bluff, holding records, books, and artifacts as different as the early history of photography from the Mertle Collection, the Babbage Institute’s History of Computing and manuscripts of children’s books like Good Night Moon and Pippi Longstocking.

Some of the most fascinating and precious archives come from the enormous artistic heritage of the northern Middle West. The Libraries’ Archives have playbills from every season of the Guthrie Theater. Costume bibles from early productions contain the sketches from which the costumes were created as well as swatches of their material. The papers of the major American poet, Robert Bly, are there, from manuscripts of his own work to letters he sent to aspiring poets when he edited literary magazines. The archives of active organizations like the Minnesota Orchestra and defunct entities like the Theatre de la Jeune Lune are in the collection. Together the Cultural Heritage archives provide a vivid picture of the artistic ferment that’s characterized Minnesota for more than 100 years.

Preserving archives like these takes much more than the perfectly temperature-controlled environment of the caverns, although that’s essential. It takes curation of the contents of the individual files by the knowledgeable and skilled archivists, preservation of fragile pieces like the costume bibles, and in the case of audio-visual materials, migration from old style format such as 16 mm film to a stable form. Recognizing this, the Friends of the University of Minnesota Libraries are working to help the Libraries to find ways to carry out that preservation and continue to organize and inventory the archives’ contents. The Friends’ goal is to help with preservation and expansion of the collections, to integrate them more deeply into University curriculum and projects, and to showcase them nationally and online.
