HIST 489 (Fall 2007)

This page details work by Linsey Hillmer in the Senior Seminar in History. Currently a fifth year student at NDSU, Linsey is originally from Alexandria, Minnesota. She is studying for a degree in Public History with her main interest in Museum Studies and she is also working towards an anthropology minor. This past summer Linsey had the opportunity to intern at the Barnes County Historical Museum in Valley City, North Dakota and found it an eye opening experience on the ins and outs of running a small budget museum. Linsey's ideal job after getting her masters would be to work for the Minnesota Historical Society at any of their sites or in the Twin Cities.

Prospectus for Paper

The monument that Linsey is researching is the Grand Army of the Republic in Grand Forks, North Dakota. The monument commemorates the veterans and the fallen soldiers of the American Civil War. The sources Linsey expects to be using are meeting minutes of the Grand Forks chapter of the GAR, which hopefully the archives in Grand Forks has and also if there was a state level GAR, to use their meeting minutes. She also expects to contact local Legion and VFW members for more information. Linsey will visit the Grand Forks monument in the coming weeks.
