Historical Description

The Minnesota Military Museum started to publish a newsletter in the winter of 1988. The initial newsletter was titled "News from the Minnesota Military Museum" and only had a single issue. The museum began publishing another newsletter in the summer of 1994. This time, the newsletter was titled "Allies" for the first six volumes. In the year 2000, the name of the newsletter changed slightly to have all capital letters and has been published on an continual basis under this name since then.
