Retrieving the collection's stories and information, and bringing them to the community with meaning and respect is certainly part of our mission. Everything is accessible via our searchable website. We have completed the process of bringing our collection of key artifacts representing the essential history of Waseca County in the form of a Timeline on our balcony level of the museum. The Timeline exhibit will be part of new programming and expanded hours for family visits to the museum. In addition to the permanent collection, we mount about two temporary exhibitions every year, and a holiday open house exhibit. WCHS Searchable WebsiteThe processing and indexing of artifacts, archives, newspapers, and so many other historical records is a constant and continuing activity. Making that information accessible online requires technological hardware, software and know-how. We are able to accomplish this accessibility with staff and outside consultants. We consider our Society to be among the more progressive in all these respects. 228859 true false false false false false false true false false true false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 0 0 false 5 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false false false false X 13 12 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false MN X X KASONDRA KUBAT 5078339181 315 2ND AVE NE WASECA MN 56093 JOAN MOONEY Executive Dir. 24.00 0.00 X 34024 0 0 MOLLY BYRON Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 LINDA FINLEY Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 DIANE BECKMANN President 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 MARTY BUUM Vice President 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 DALE GROSKREUTZ Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JAQUELINE PETERS Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 BRIAN HARGUTH Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 DAWN HALGREN Treasurer 3.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 CAROL RAIMANN Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 GREGG JOHNSON Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 DAVE ZIKA Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 34024 0 false false false 0 10220 75450 145182 230852 ANNUAL MEETING 511 511 FAIR BOOTH 2303 2303 FARM AMERICA AUCTION 2816 2816 HAUNTED LIBRARY 400 400 PROGRAM INCOME - OTHER 1000 1000 417 417 7447 48375 48375 0 0 0 0 0 0 1336 2587 -1251 -1251 0 285423 55822 -1251 0 0 0 0 34024 27219 6805 0 54023 43218 10805 0 0 174 139 35 0 0 0 0 0 5133 4106 1027 0 1629 1303 326 3189 2551 638 0 0 22769 18215 4554 0 0 0 0 0 14972 11978 2994 8296 6637 1659 Restricted Grant Expenses 112535 90028 22507 Technology / Software 12811 10249 2562 Professional & Contract Fees 6810 5448 1362 Program Expenses 3617 3617 4722 4151 571 284704 228859 55845 0 210959 178283 68386 68690 0 0 0 0 0 15092 14047 0 457641 225278 228630 232363 0 0 0 0 594233 613053 1117300 1106436 16777 5194 16777 5194 X 1100523 1101242 1100523 1101242 1117300 1106436 719 X false false false X 181515 84965 72535 141180 155402 635597 75928 77220 74907 76100 75450 379605 0 257443 162185 147442 217280 230852 1015202 0 1015202 79209 45086 119617 -61058 48375 231229 0 0 1246431 0.81450 0.85040 X X X X X false 364817 150732 214085 92824 74546 18278 232363 613053 Part III, Line 1a: If organization elected under SFAS 116 to not report are, historical treasures, o Museum artifacts that are not for sale.
