MDL Minnesota Digital Library

The Minnesota Digital Library Coalition (MDLC) — professionals from libraries, archives, historical societies, and museums across Minnesota — is creating a digital collection of the state's unique resources and special collections. The Minnesota Digital Library supports education, scholarship, and enrichment through Internet access to this collection. The MDLC provides a server and database environment and imaging support that is the technical foundation for current and future digitization activities.

MDL-ref Minnesota Reflections is the initial digitization effort of the MDLC. This digitization project involves a growing number of contributing local historical societies, special archives, and libraries. The MDLC and participating organization continue to make available the unique resources of Minnesota's heritage. The searchable database of Minnesota Reflections is found at reflections.mndigital.org.

The Minnesota Digital Library is a grant-funded project operating under the administrative direction of Minitex .
