Credits The website exhibit of “Unpacking on the Prairie: Jewish Women in the Upper Midwest” draws on an exhibit in real space, the product of a collaboration between the Jewish Historical Society of the Upper Midwest and the Minnesota Historical Society. This exhibit was on view at the Minnesota History Center from October 1996 to October 1997, and a traveling version can be booked by contacting the Minnesota Historical Society. Scores of people helped to shape this exhibit. Linda Schloff and Judith Shendar represented the Jewish Historical Society of the Upper Midwest and worked with a talented team from the exhibits department of Minnesota Historical Society. Schloff was curator of the traveling version as well as curator and author of text for the on-line exhibit. Text and visuals have been reviewed by the Minnesota Historical Society. Images and objects were drawn from the collections of the following institutions: The Jewish Historical Society of the Upper Midwest, the Minnesota Historical Society, YIVO Institute for Jewish Research, the American Jewish Archives, Israel’s Ein Harod Museum, and Culver Graphics. Quotations come from the following collections: the Jewish Historical Society of the Upper Midwest, the Minnesota Historical Society, the American Jewish Archives, the University of South Dakota, Vermillion, Minnesota Public Radio, as well as from the books Dakota Diaspora by Sophie Turnoy Trupin, American Daughter by Era Bell Thompson, and The Wisdom of Love by Edith Edelman. If you enjoyed the exhibit and want to read more gripping stories, why not order the book “And Prairie Dogs Weren't Kosher: Jewish Women in the Upper Midwest since 1855“ by Linda Mack Schloff.
