What does the Alliance do?
The Minnesota Alliance of Local History Museums (MALHM) serves 500+ local history groups throughout the state. MALHM offers: professional training and networking, awards for excellence, mutual assistance in times of disaster, and more.
Although Minnesota's history groups serve different communities, they share a common mission of connecting people to nearby history. Alliance members operate with different levels of resources. Some have professional staff, but many are small, volunteer-run societies. Together, we work to raise the quality of the local history field in Minnesota.
