The collection consists primarily of typed carbon copies of newspaper articles describing the Mankato State Normal School, the Minnesota normal school system, and the schools of Mankato and Blue Earth County. The newspaper articles were published between 1857 and 1893 and were in the Mankato Independent, Mankato Record, Mankato Review, Mankato Union, and the Public Spirit (Mankato). The collection also contains typed copies of Minnesota's laws relating to the state's normal schools; numerous biographical sketches of prominent individuals at Mankato State Normal School and Mankato State Teachers' College, including Daniel Buck, George M. Gage, James Brown, Julia Sears, Charles M. Cooper, Susan M. Dyer, George M. Ferguson, David Clark John, and Edward Searing; and a portion of a manuscript history detailing the Mankato State Normal School. Snarr compiled a list of the newspaper collections within the Mankato Public Library and the Blue Earth County Historical Society and used this information to create some short histories of Mankato's newspapers between 1857 and 1902.
