- Series 1: Minto Subject Files
- This series consists of information about prominent Minto residents, businesses, events, the founding of the city, as well as many other various files, arranged alphabetically. Some of the files were previously arranged by Mr. Rolczynski and the original folder number is included in the Box and Folder Inventory alongside the collection's folder title. Additionally, identifiable newspaper articles, the majority of which came from the Minto Journal, included in the collection were separated, indexed chronologically within each subject, and disposed of because of their deteriorated condition. The index of these articles is included in each folder. Non-identifiable newspaper articles remain in the collection and are in the subject folders.
