![]() ![]() Saint Paul Mission Historical Society is developing a public database of historically significant manuscripts and photos from the SPMHS collections and the Harriet D. Munnick collection. Harriet D. Munnick was one of French Prairie’s most prolific historians. Unfortunately, much of her work was never published and has not been available to the general public. All of her research and documents were donated to the SPMHS. The Board of Directors decided that the materials should be digitized, cataloged, and indexed in a PastPerfect database. The Austin Family Foundation provided multiple grants, and Oregon State University graduate students were hired to create this database. At present, thousands of images are found under the “collections” tab on this page. In 2019, the Schwemm Family Foundation provided funds to digitize, and to place in the “collections,” ninety-some French Prairie family histories that were donated to the society. Included in the collection are some of Harriet D. Munnick’s articles about early French Prairie settlers. French Prairie Pioneer Biographies by Connie Lenzen, CG
