Linden Hills Library History Room Regional Research Associates Minneapolis MN Project and Publication Management in Upper Midwest Studies Regional Research Associates was founded in 1993 to respond to clients' need to better understand the unique region of the Upper Midwest in the United States through its history, sociology, and community and demographic changes. Deborah Morse-Kahn is a public historian and
photojournalist
who has written extensively about people and places in the Upper
Midwest. She
holds a masters degree in American Regional Studies, and brings the
skills of
archaeology, sociology and archives into her daily work. Best known
locally for
her first book, Edina:
Chapters in the
City History (1998), she has an archaeology specialization in rock
art and
effigy mound culture in the Upper Midwest, and authored A Guide to the
Archaeology Parks of the Upper Midwest in 2003. Ms.
Morse-Kahn is a specialist in American ethnic and religious
communities, with
particular attention to the Amish and other ‘plain peoples,’ consulting
frequently with Wisconsin state and county agencies and first
responders on
working with this special religious population. She co-authored Born Amish, a
study of the lives of
women in Amish culture, in 2004 and was a national media consultant on
the
events of the Nickel Mines tragedy in 2006. Her
commitment to historic preservation issues has earned her
appointment to the Minneapolis
Heritage Preservation Commission, and has resulted in her ninth
book, Lake
Superior’s Historic North
Shore: A Guide, recently published by the Minnesota
Historical Society to promote and protect one of Minnesota’s most
treasured
heritage districts. Ms. Morse-Kahn lives and works in the historic Minneapolis community of Linden Hills. Regional Research Associates(612) 925-0749 dmk@regionalresearch.net |
