Library and Archives Not only is Minnetrista's library and archives a repository for the area's written and photographic history, it is also a research center that is open to the public. If you are looking for a photograph of downtown Muncie in the1940s, doing a research project on the service of area soldiers during the Civil War, or trying to determine when a local business existed, investigate the library and archives.
Some of the materials available for your research include county and town histories, indexes to birth, death and marriage records, and city directories. Archival materials include correspondence, photographs, scrapbooks, records of clubs and organizations, maps, diaries, records and advertising materials from area businesses, school yearbooks, and military records. In addition, Minnetrista has an electronic subscription to the Sanborn Fire Insurance maps.
