"Here open to all is the history of this people."
Welcome to all researchers exploring Nebraska history!
We are working to improve how we handle your photo requests! Beginning December 31st, we will be pausing photograph orders until early April to begin work on a new request system.
Our new process will:
Improve turnaround time for receiving high resolution images.
Simplify the permission and use agreements.
Allow you to pay online.
While we are working, you still have access to thousands of digitized images by using our Digital Collections Portal. Browse images by keyword to find relevant images for your needs. These files are available free of charge, but we do ask that you credit History Nebraska in your work.
If you have any questions, please email Lindsey Hillgartner at Lindsey.Hillgartner@nebraska.gov.
For media requests, please contact Chris Goforth at chris.goforth@nebraska.gov.
