All regions and dates listed below

The Michigan History Alliance™ is a regionalized program that helps our member organizations preserve and promote history by fostering collaboration, sharing information and best practices, and providing training for their staff and volunteers.

Easily register online on our website.

The Alliance meetings take place in the morning and consist of a networking session and a featured speaker. Attendance at a Michigan History Alliance meeting is FREE of charge for current member organizations of HSM. The networking and collaboration portion allows for conversations among a region’s historical organizations, and the speaker will offer further insights on a topic of concern or opportunity.

Attendance at a Michigan History Alliance meeting is FREE of charge for current member organizations of HSM. Since the Alliance is a benefit for HSM member organizations, membership is required for participation.

Attendees must represent a member historical organization in order to attend the Alliance meeting in the morning. The afternoon workshops are open to ALL! There is a fee to attend the History Skills Workshops.

For more information about the program or to sign up for a meeting, contact Director of Education Robert Myers at (517) 324-1828 or myers@hsmichigan.org. Or easily register online on our website.
