Three Date Options This Fall 2023!The Minnesota Alliance of Local History Museums is pleased to offer emergency preparedness training this Fall, at no cost to you, thanks to the Minnesota Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund and our partner locations. For Minnesota’s local history community, this is important to protect employees, patrons, buildings, and collections from damage.
The training, led by Midwest Art Conservation Center (MACC), will equip individuals with the skills and resources to conduct salvage of museum collections damaged by water and host abbreviated wet salvage workshops with their own staff, volunteers, and other regional collection caretakers. In addition, each participant will update or create an emergency plan for their organization in 2024. |

What does the Alliance do?
Minnesota's local history groups formed an alliance in 1991. Even though we serve different communities throughout the state, we share a common mission of connecting people to nearby history. Some of us have professional staff, but many of us are small, volunteer-run societies. Together, we work to raise the quality of work in the local history field in Minnesota. The Minnesota Alliance for Local History Museums serves the approximately 500-plus local history groups throughout the state with professional training, awards for excellence, mutual assistance in times of disaster and more.
