Below is a list of the databases we have made available for online searches. Some of these provide references to data or materials available at our Research Library & Museum so you'll know exactly what materials you are looking for when you visit us.

If you need assistance, contact our research librarian at:

While there is no charge for research assistance, please consider a donation of $7.50 per half hour for research assistance. You can make a donation online to the Fred E. Lawshe fund by clicking the "Contribute" button in the sidebar to the left throughout our web site. If you find our materials particularly helpful, please consider becoming a member of the Dakota County Historical Society, which you can also do by clicking the "Join Society" button in the sidebar!
