University Archives and Southern Minnesota Historical Center

The Florence Cobb Collection is mainly comprised of photographs taken from 1966-1969 during Cobb’s time at Minnesota State University. There is also a large scrap book created by Cobb that includes programs from dance events on the university campus and dance programs that Cobb took her students to off campus, primarily the Twin Cities.

The Lyle (Spike) Haskell collection contains an audiocassette tape, a CD duplicate of the audiocassette, and a transcript of an oral history interview conducted between Marcia Mason and Haskell in the fall of 1974. In the interview, Haskell recalled his career as a musician in Minnesota. Haskell played in numerous orchestras based in Mankato, Minnesota that traveled throughout Iowa, Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wisconsin.
