American Society for Information Science and Technology. Minnesota Chapter.

The Minnesota chapter of the American Society for Information Science (ASIS) was founded in 1968, after a speech given locally by national ASIS president Robert S. Taylor spurred interested persons to hold an organizational meeting on March 19 of that year. The constitution and bylaws were drafted shortly after and a nominating committee was formed. On May 17, 1968, ASIS granted a charter to the Minnesota chapter and the first board meeting was held June 24, 1968. The chapter bylaws were amended in 1970 and again in 1972 in order to comply with wording in the bylaws of the national organization. Originally the Minnesota chapter included Wisconsin, Iowa, and the Dakotas. Wisconsin subsequently formed its own chapter in 1973; the Minnesota chapter still includes Iowa and the Dakotas. Initial membership was thirty-eight.
