Municipal Government Records

Municipal governments provide the infrastructure for our communities. They pave streets, operate utilities, run schools, manage cemeteries, pass local laws, provide fire and police protection and more. The Nebraska State Historical Society holds municipal records from some communities across the state.

About NSHS

The Nebraska State Historical Society was founded in 1878 by citizens who recognized Nebraska was going through great changes and they sought to record the stories of both indigenous and immigrant peoples. It was designated a state institution and began receiving funds from the legislature in 1883. Legislation in 1994 changed NSHS from a state institution to a state agency. The division is headed by Director Daryl Bohac. They are assisted by an administrative staff responsible for financial and personnel functions, museum store services, security, and facilities maintenance for NSHS.
