Welcome to the Clearwater County MNGenWeb Project. Clearwater County is home to Lake Itasca and Itasca State Park. Lake Itasca has the unique distinction of being the headwaters of the Mississippi River. Clearwater County was carved out of Beltrami County in 1902. The county seat of Clearwater County is Bagley. We are a free, genealogical and historical website run by volunteers to assist you in your research. That means that we locate and post materials and handle the website. But this website is yours! Please feel free to submit genealogy or history-related data for us to post here. A big thank you to former website hosts Vikki Gray and Michael Andrews. |

Timothy Hughes Rare & Early Newspapers would be another website that could be listed here as a resource on the "MNResearchResources and Links" page. (Their website is http://www.rarenewspapers.com/ ). You can search a database of authentic newspapers on their site (by keyword, date, and more). If someone is looking for a specific edition of a newspaper (such as the St Paul Weekly Minnesotian, St Paul Press, and more) or is looking for information on a topic during their research, they might have it in stock. It could be a valuable resource for your visitors. They have been dealers in rare & historic newspapers for more than 35 years and currently serve as consultants to the Freedom Forum Newseum, and are members of the American Antiquarian Society and the Ephemera Society of America. |
