system for accessioning of items has been established.
COMMUNITY PHOTO PROJECT
The Committee discussed the Community Photo Project. Simpson and Foote will meet in February to
coordinate set-up. Two events will be held to ask people to bring in photos for scanning so they can be added to
the Historical Society collection. The events will coincide with two Eagan Seniors events at the Eagan
Community Center. The first is the Antiques Assessment Show on March 21, 2009 (date changed by Seniors
from original April 25 date) and the second is the monthly potluck luncheon April 30. Foote stated she will call
the local paper and ask if they are interested in helping scan photos. The Committee decided they will have the
playing cards and books available for sale if enough volunteers are available, at each event.
Bendt brought photos of the Mr. Donuts shop in Cedar Grove which was owned by a family member.
Foote will scan these photos into the collection.
