Beginning January 17, 2009, the Nebraska State Historical Society's headquarters at 1500 R is 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 during 2009 and into 2010 the Reference Room IS CLOSED and that SOME research materials (including most newspapers) are unavailable.
Some research materials and LIMITED Reference Services are still available. Please call (402)-471-4771 or email nshs.libarch@nebraska.gov for more information.
Please check the NSHS website often for updates on the closure of the Reference Room.
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.
Historical Society Administrative Offices will remain open during the renovation.
