Acknowledgements

The research team members wish to express their sincere gratitude to all the interviewees for participating in this project. Their sharing of stories and personal memorabilia is the heart and soul of this project. In particular, special thanks must go to Ms. Judy Dirks, for her generosity and resourcefulness. The team would also like to thank the Digital Humanities on the Hill/The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation as well as St Olaf Collaborative Undergraduate Research and Inquiry (CURI) program for their support. The assistance from St. Olaf Instructional Technology staff and Digital Humanities student interns is much appreciated as well. The help from the Research & Instruction librarians at St Olaf must, too, be noted.  In addition, the team is grateful to the Northfield Historical Society, the Northfield Public Library, St. John’s Lutheran Church, and the St. Olaf Archive for granting access to their collections. This project is still a work in progress, however, so comments and suggestions are welcome.
