Volunteers are the heroes of the Nebraska State Historical Society.
So much history, so little time! Your work helps us share access to Nebraska’s stories at our museums and sites, the reference room, and online.
Donate to our Collection
Call us before you clean out that attic! Your Nebraska family’s photographs, letters, diaries, documents, home movies, tape recordings, videotapes, and artifacts can help tell our state’s stories.
Please contact us if you have items you might share.
