The Historic Preservation Society of Social Circle was founded with two goals in mind, to acquire a significant historic property to serve as society headquarters and as a community history center, and to develop a sizable membership in order to provide community based programs. With the acquisition of Gunter Hall and a membership of nearly 150, the society has achieved both of those goals. Currently, Gunter Hall is undergoing an extensive renovation. When finished, Gunter Hall will serve as a historic house museum in addition to its current role as society headquarters.

The site offers information about the society, visitor information for the town of Social Circle, a history of Social Circle, a history of the Social Circle school system, and an events calendar.

A museum is under development.

"The Straus Center provides analysis and treatments for the collections of the Harvard University Art Museums. These collections include more than 150,000 objects in all media, ranging in date from antiquity to the present, and coming from Europe, North America, North Africa, the Middle East, India, Southeast Asia, and East Asia." In addition to working with the collections of the Harvard Art Museums, the Straus Center for Conservation also has a strong focus on training and education. The center provides a variety of educational programs and training courses in art preservation for students and interns.

The site offers visitor information, general information about the center, a link to the Harvard University Art Museums, and detailed information about current research efforts.

Fellowships are intended for collegiate students.

The Society's Museum is housed in a two-story red brick structure designed by George Pass and built in 1895—one of the few remaining examples of late 19th-century schoolhouse architecture. The Museum interprets the history of Le Sueur County through a collection that includes a prehistoric bison skull, one-room school, general store, vintage toy displays, church artifacts, Victorian rooms, and Native American objects. An Art Room showcases area artisans and exhibits honoring the work of Adolf Dehn, Roger Preuss, and David Maass.

The museum offers exhibits and research library access.

Unable to find an official site to confirm the continued existence of the society or museum. The following site mentions that there seems to be an ownership dispute over the museum. http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~mnlesueu/

The History Database is a database program created specifically for historical research, writing, and cataloging. "It combines computer database management with historical research practices and with library, archival, and museum cataloging standards to make the process of cataloging or note-taking faster and easier, and to protect your long term investment in the information collected."

The site offers detailed information and user guides for the history database software, along with a history of the database project. Potential users should note that this website is extremely dated, as it was last modified in 1997.

This is a database program, not a physical site.
