Peers Helping Peers Since 1991

Who we are
For 27 years, the Alliance has been the voice of the local history community in Minnesota. Together, history groups large and small have supported each other, fostered professionalism in the field and collaborated on important projects. Please join us!

What we do
Benefits include:
  • Membership discount on Gaylord Archival products. Receive an 18% discount on supply items and a 50% discount on shipping on supply orders over $200 (after discount). Upon dues receipt, members will receive an email with the discount code. The code changes annually. If you order archival supplies, you know you’ll make your membership money back on the first order alone!
