| Genealogy
Our Genealogy collection includes materials on Redwood and Renville Counties,
the city of Redwood Falls and other communities within Redwood County, as well
as local resources for Native American Genealogy. Our microfilm collection
includes all available films for newspapers published in Redwood Falls. We also
have several rolls of local census reports for both Redwood and Renville counties.
We
encourage you to stop by the Redwood Falls Public Library to do
research. Both microfilm copies and photocopies are 20¢ per page. If
you are unable to visit the Library to do your own research, Staff can
search for a specific event with a specific date for a fee. Our
newspaper collection is not indexed and we do not have the resources to
search through a broad range of dates.
Fees:
$5.00 for one request
$10.00 for a half hour of research
$20.00 for one hour of research (with a limit of one hour maximum research)
Requests can be accepted via postal mail, email, or telephone.

There are many ways that a blog can be used, but in 6th grade we use it
mainly as a place where you, extended family and friends, can see and
hear a variety of technology projects that we will be completing during
the 2011-2012 school year in 6th grade. Your child will simply show you
how to find their projects so you can view them. We hope you enjoy,
Mrs. Miller, Ms. Cooper, Mrs. Sanchez, and Mr. Lundeen
