BACKGROUND NOTE

The first organizational meeting of the Nebraska Museums Conference was held in 1958 in Lincoln.  It was attended by sixty-seven individuals from twenty-seven institutions around the state.  Annual meetings were held every year, and in 1968 the Conference decided to officially incorporate under the laws of the State of Nebraska.  The Conference eventually changed its name to the Nebraska Museums Coalition but continued to hold annual meetings, as well as hold programs and offer training around the state.  By the early 1980s the Coalition was facing financial difficulties and was forced to disband.

SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE

The collection consists of records relating to the operations of the Nebraska Museums Coalition and its predecessor, the Nebraska Museums Conference.  The records date from ca. 1968 to 1983 and include minutes of meetings, correspondence, project files, membership information, financial information, event programs, newsletters, etc.  The collection is unprocessed, but an inventory is available.
