Research
DAHS continues to build our research collection. It chronicles the cities of Dassel, Kingston and Darwin and the townships of Kingston, Dassel, Darwin, Ellsworth and Collinwood.

- A collection of Meeker County Plat Maps (indexed)
- An obituary index
- A photographic collection of the people and places within our area
- Published histories of Meeker County (indexed)
- Church and school records and histories (most indexed)
- Printed family histories contributed by our members and friends
- Family history files that have been assembled by our staff and by DAHS correspondents
- Chronological index of a wide variety of community entities, such as businesses, organizations, sports teams, politics and many others
