David, In response to your request for historic photos -- try the Minneapolis Public Library. MPL has a 600,000 item picture/photo archive that is heavily used by researchers. It is one of, if not the best photo/picture collections outside of the New York Public Library. Traditionally it's been based at the Central Library; due to the interim situation, it has been moved to Northeast Community Library on Central Avenue. To get started, you can call librarian Cathy Camper (630-6101), who has overseen the collection; or try Northeast Library directly (630-6900). If your request is specific to Minneapolis history, you might also try the Special Collections department, which has the largest collection of historic documents related to Minneapolis outside of the MN Historical Society. For special collections: 630-6350.
