Beginning January 2009, the Nebraska State Historical Society's headquarters at 1500 R will be undergoing a two-year renovation project to bring life/safety and HVAC conditions up to current standards. Researchers planning to work with collections housed in the facility should take note that there will be extended time periods during 2009-2011 that the Reference Room WILL BE CLOSED and that research materials will be unavailable.
Please check the NSHS website often for updates on the closure of the Reference Room, or call (402)-471-4771 or email lanshs@nebraskahistory.org for information.
We are sorry for this inconvenience, but we believe that the project will result in a safer environment for our staff, researchers, and the collections that we hold in trust for the citizens of Nebraska. We appreciate your patience as we invest in the long-term preservation of the historical materials that you use and value.
