MMP Highlights

The Montana Memory Project (MMP) continues to provide information on ways to successfully use the new site through this Highlights newsletter and the Highlights section on the home page. 

Library staff members are encouraged to share these with patrons by adding these ideas to your website and sharing through social media outlets.

We have a new uploaded collection to announce, as well as updates to two existing collections. Read more about those below. We are also working with a number of organizations on new collections, and have received numerous applications for new collections. We anticipate a busy remainder of 2022, with tons of new content to share with you!

Publications and Ephemera from the Montana Historical Society

The latest collection in our ongoing partnership with Montana Historical Society contains 165 colorful books, brochures, and pamphlets covering over 100 years of Montana history. There are advertising materials, political leaflets, Brand Books, and a whole lot more. It is a highly diverse collection - we hope you will check it out.

New Content for Two Collections

We've also added some new content to two of our previously uploaded collections. We've uploaded 137 new photos to the Grant-Kohrs Ranch National Historic Site Photographs collection, which documents the history of a landmark Montana ranch. And we've added 84 images to the massive Photographs from the Montana Historical Society collection, bringing the total online in that collection to over 7,600 historic images. At right you can see an 1890 engraving of Helena's "Gold Block" from that collection.
